NOTE 

Having been a student of human nature and of 
the laws of nature for years, and having a faculty 
for tracing nature's laws backward as well as for- 
ward, through a mind which has been broadened 
by the absorption of an education by mental life, 
and knowing from this student life of nature the 
unscientific and unintelligent life which we are liv- 
ing, and believing that the time has come for higher 
teachings as to creation and life, I have been in- 
duced to write this book. First in the interest of a 
greater and higher human life ; second, that the 
scientific and self-thinking world may take up my 
investigations and study them, not from the stand- 
point of man's teachings, but from a true scientific 
basis according to the great laws of creation, which 
will eventually lead to a greater and higher life for 
all humanity. 

To this end I hereby dedicate this book to the 
scientific and self-thinking world, that through true 
science the highest aim of human life may be ob- 
tained, as designed by the Creators of all life.

The Tree of Worlds 

Or 

A GREATER AND HIGHER 
CREATION OF LIFE 

CHAPTER I 



In the beginning of creation there could have 
been seen in yonder distance, had there been eyes to 
see it, a black speck — a speck of darkness as dark 
as the darkest night, as motionless as the motionless 
dead, and as empty as the emptiness of space; in 
fact, there was nothing but an empty space of dark- 
ness. 

How long this empty space of darkness had ex- 
isted, or how long it had been since it could have 
been seen had there been eyes to see it, we will not 
say, but in the beginning of creation, which began 
in this empty space of darkness, there were created, 
first, of a power within themselves, two elements — 
two elements which began as two separate forces 
and grew to elements, of which one could not exist 
without the other, yet there would have to be one 
before there could be the other; two elements, the 
images of which are seen in all that is created, both 

7 



8 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

in the earth and in the heavens; two elements, the 
god and the godhead, the creators and rulers of the 
earth, and the heavens, and all therein. 

What were these two elements? They were life 
and motion. Life, the female, and motion, the male ; 
life, the god, and motion, the godhead. Life there 
could not be without motion ; motion there could 
not be without life, yet there would have to be life 
before there could be motion. These two elements 
are opposite in function, but equal in force, yet 
they are inseparable, not because they are as one, 
or analogous to one, but because one could not 
exist without the other. But let us stop and ask, 
What is life? and What is motion? that we may 
have a better knowledge of the creators and of all 
that is created. 

Life is an element, the living symbol of all that 
exists in nature — the female, the soil from whence 
sprang all creation. Motion is an element, the 
living symbol of life — the male, the force of all that 
is created. They are two elements that can never 
die, for there is no power or force that can destroy 
them ; being both the life and the force, the creators 
and rulers of all that is created, there can be no 
power greater than theirs. They are the only two 
elements that can exist in a single state ; that is, 
they are the only two elements that can exist of a 
power within themselves, for they are the life and 
the force, the soil of life and the force of production, 
the creators and rulers of all that can be created. 
There may be imaginary gods and imaginary forces, 
but there can be no god and no force which has not 
been created by these two creators and rulers, the 
god and the godhead — the parents — in which exist 
the images of every element, every intellect, func- 
tion and power known to created life, and from 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 9 

which is created every element with every intellect, 
function and power known to organic life. Created 
of a power within themselves as the female and the 
male, the soil and the force of all creation, so was 
every element and every organ known to organic 
life created as the female and the male, the soil and 
the force of life, in which the creation of the female 
would have to precede that of the male, as the 
male is only the force without the life, and could not 
be created without the female, the soil of life. 

That these two creators and rulers were created 
in infancy in this dark, empty space of darkness of 
a power within themselves, there is no doubt, for in 
all creation there is seen the image of these 
creators; and as all creations are created in dark- 
ness, so were these two creations ; and as all crea- 
tions grew from infancy to maturity, or to that of 
a greater power, so did these two creators. Life 
growing from infant life to the great life of all that 
is created; motion growing from infant motion 
to the great power of all that is created. Created 
i" infancy of a power within themselves, these two 
creators grew by that same power to the great 
creators and rulers of the earth and the heavens 
and all therein. 



10 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER II 

CREATION OF THE FIRST GERM 

How long it took these two creators to grow to 
the age of puberty, or to that age of maturity, 
wherein they were capable of creating other ele- 
ments, we will not say for time was not reckoned 
then. 

But when they had grown, of a power within 
themselves, to the age of puberty, or that age 
wherein they were capable of creating other ele- 
ments, there were created or born of them two other 
elements — two elements in which there are the 
same phenomena of life as in the creators, of which 
one could not exist without the other, and in which 
the creation of the female would have to precede 
that of the male. They were the elements of 
growth, so-called cold and heat, which are the ele- 
ments of contraction and expansion, the elements 
of elasticity, without which no created life, except 
that of the creators themselves, could grow. They 
are the female and the male elements of the growth 
of life. One could not exist without the other, as 
the element of heat, which is the male element, or 
the element of force, would destroy every element 
of organic life if it were not for the restraining 
element of cold, which is the female element of the 
elements of the growth of life. Created in infancy, 
as all creations are, these two elements of the 
growth of life grew as their creators had grown, 
and with their creators formed the first germ of 
life — with the darkness of this dark, empty space 
as the shell — a germ so small that, had it been of 



THE TREE OF WORLDS H 

visible matter, it could not have been seen with the 
human eye. Created in darkness, as all creations 
are, this first germ of life, which consisted of the 
creators, the god and the godhead, with the two 
elements of the growth of life, cold and heat, grew 
as its creators had grown, from infancy to maturity ; 
they began to propagate and multiply through 
sympathetic coition, until the whole space of this 
dark, empty shell of darkness became a space of 
so-called gaseous elements, of different functions 
of life, each element consisting of the female and 
the male, of which one could not exist without the 
other. Yet in their creation, the creation of the 
female would have to precede that of the male, for 
the male is only the force without the soil, for the 
propagation of life, so that in all creations as in that 
of the creators, it was the female that was created 
first, and not the male. 

In the creation of these so-called gaseous ele- 
ments of different functions of life, which formed 
the substance of this first seed of life, the two first 
elements to be created or born of this first germ 
of life were two elements which are the com- 
binators of all other elements. No elements could 
exist in combination as organic life without being 
held together by these two combinating elements, 
so-called oxygen and nitrogen, the female and male 
elements of the combinators of organic life — oxygen 
the female, and nitrogen the male ; oxygen the sus- 
taining element of life, and nitrogen the sustaining 
element of force. While these two elements can 
exist in a single state artificially, they cannot per- 
form their functions as combinators of organic life 
one without the other, nor could one exist with- 
out the other, for without oxygen, the sustaining 
element of life, there could be no life, for nitrogen, 



12 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

the male element, is only the force without the soil, 
for the propagation and sustaining of organic life. 
That these two elements are the combinating ele- 
ments of organic life, there is proof in all creation, 
as you may take organic life of any kind and deprive 
it of these two elements, oxygen and nitrogen, and 
see how quickly there will be dissolution — so-called 
death. Yet take that disintegrated matter and add 
it to the earth, and it will enrich the earth, which 
shows that these two elements, oxygen and nitro- 
gen, were the combinators, and that the two 
creators, life and motion, had not been destroyed 
through this process of dissolution, for they being 
the creators and rulers of all that is created, there 
was no power or force of dissolution that could 
destroy them ; and that when these two combinating 
elements, oxygen and nitrogen, the first two ele- 
ments born of this first germ of life, had grown 
from infancy to maturity, they began to propagate 
and multiply through systematic coition, as did 
other elements, the creation of which followed that 
of the combinators, until the whole space of this 
dark, empty space became a space of so-called 
gaseous elements of different functions of life, 
which grew from infancy to maturity, until every 
element known to organic life had been created; 
each element having been created in the two sexes, 
the female and the male, the whole being held 
together in this shell of darkness by the com- 
binators, oxygen and nitrogen, with the first germ 
of life from whence they had been created as the 
center, thus forming the first seed of life, from 
which grew this great organic tree of worlds, so- 
called the earth and heavens, which is nothing 
more nor less than a great organic tree of worlds, 
with each world as an organ of the function of 






THE TREE OF WORLDS 13 

life, analogous to that of every tree of vegetable 
life ; for in the creation and growth of this first 
germ and first seed of life, there is seen every law 
and every phenomenal function of life, as in the 
creation and growth of every germ and every seed 
of life, from the smallest to that of the greatest of 
vegetable, human and animal life. 



14 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER III 

THE FIRST SEED OF LIFE 

When this first seed of life, which consisted of 
the first organic germ of life as the center, sur- 
rounded by the so-called gaseous elements of the 
different functions of life, had become complete, 
then began the law of segmentation — a law in which 
matter is divided into organic matter, organic mat- 
ter into organic bodies, and organic bodies into 
organic worlds, it being through this law that every 
seed of life, either vegetable, human or animal, was 
divided into organic life. After the law of seg- 
mentation had completed the outlines and functions 
of each world, as an organ of life, then began the 
lav/ of waste and accumulation, and the passing 
of organic life from a lower to a higher state of 
purity through the law of evolution, which is a law 
of sympathy; a law in which the higher creations 
have a sympathetic power over that of the lower, 
it being through this law that each creation is in a 
higher and more perfect state than that of the 
former. 

When the law of segmentation had completed the 
outline of each world, from the substance of this 
first seed of life, they began to grow through the 
law of waste and accumulation, until they burst 
forth from this shell of darkness, as the first visible 
growth, which has grown from an invisible infant 
tree of worlds to the great organic tree of worlds, 
so-called the earth and the heavens, with its many 
branches. For this tree of worlds has many roots 
and branches, analogous to that of every tree of 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 15 

vegetable life, each branch being marked by a star, 
or, in other words, each star marks a branch of 
this tree of worlds, the farthest branch from the 
root or earth marking the highest branch of this 
tree of worlds. 

That this first seed of life was created in this 
shell of darkness from this first germ of life, there 
is proof in the fact that all creations are created in 
darkness from a germ of life, and grow until they 
burst forth from that shell of darkness as an or- 
ganic growth, which grows from invisible to visible 
life, and from infancy to maturity. 



16 THE TREE OF WORLDS 



CHAPTER IV 

r 

THE CREATION OF EACH WORLD, AS AN ORGAN OF i'HIS 
TREE OF WORLDS 

Now that we have traced the creation of tj*c 
creators, the god and the godhead, with the creation 
and growth of the first germ and the first seed of 
life, from which grew this organic tree of worlds, 
so-called the earth and the heavens, we will begin 
and trace, step by step, the creation and growth of 
each world as an organ of this tree of worlds, that 
we may better understand the greatness of the 
creators, the god and the godhead, and, at the same 
time, have a better knowledge of the greatness, yet 
the simplicity, of the great, broad and true laws of 
creation which govern not only the life and growth 
of this tree of worlds, but the life and growth of 
all that is created. 

In the creation of the so-called gaseous elements 
of the different functions of life, which formed the 
substance of the first seed of life, they were created 
as moist and dry gaseous elements, which grew 
through the law of waste and accumulation, jifter 
the law of segmentation had divided them into 
worlds, from moist and dry elements to the liquid 
and solid elements of this tree of worlds ; the moist 
becoming the root, or so-called earth, while the 
dry became the body, or so-called heavenly part, 
the whole being the growth from this first seed of 
life, which has grown from an invisible tree of 
worlds into the great organic tree of worlds, so- 
called the earth and the heavens, in which we live. 

After the substance of this first seed of life had 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 17 

been transformed into the worlds through the law 
of segmentation, and had grown through the law 
of waste and accumulation until they burst forth 
from this shell of darkness as the infant growth 
of this tree of worlds, there were seen circulating 
through each world as an organ of this tree of 
worlds, two elements of different hues, one dark and 
+ he other light. They were the life fluids which had 
Veen created through the law of waste and accumu- 
lation, from the waste which had been thrown off 
through the law of segmentation, and which had 
grown from invisible to visible life fluids of highly 
illuminated powers, which circulate through each 
world as an organ of this tree of worlds, with the 
moon and the sun as the circulating mediums, 
analogous to what is seen in all organic life ; for 
in all organic life there are found two life fluids 
which circulate from a center of life and a center 
of force, analogous to the life fluids of this tree of 
worlds. 

As this tree of worlds began to grow, after being 
born of this first seed of life, it became visible 
through these two life fluids, which are two highly 
illuminating gaseous elements of different hues, one 
dark and the other light, which circulate through 
this whole tree of worlds, with the moon as the 
center of life, and the sun as the center of force; 
it being through the circulation of these two 
illuminating life fluids through this tree of worlds, 
that day is marked from night, or darkness from 
that of light. 



18 THE TREE OF WORLDS 



CHAPTER V 

CREATION OF THE ROOT, OR EARTHY PART OF THIS 
TREE OF WORLDS 

In following up the growth of this tree of worlds, 
after each world had become visible through these 
life fluids, we come to that stage wherein the root, 
the so-called earth, had grown through the law 
of waste and accumulation, from the condition of 
moist, gaseous elements to that of liquid elements, 
or so-called water, from whence were created the 
solid elements, or root of this tree of worlds, 
through the law of crystallization, which is that law 
of transformation under which liquid elements are 
transformed into solid elements through the action 
of the elements of cold and heat, the elements of 
the growth of life. 

As this tree of worlds grew through the law of 
waste and accumulation, as all creation grow, the 
waste which had been thrown off by this growth 
was absorbed by the liquid portion which is now the 
root of this tree of worlds; and being elements of 
waste, they accumulated in different parts or sec- 
tions of this liquid space, so-called water, thus form- 
ing masses of disintegrated matter in a semi-liquid 
state, from whence was created, through the law of 
crystallization, superinduced by the elements of the 
growth of life, cold and heat, the root or solid por- 
tion of this tree of worlds, so-called the earth — a 
creation and growth which took years of time, and 
in which every element was created in infancy and 
grew to maturity, when they began to propagate 
and multiply through sympathetic coition, analo- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 19 

gous to that of the higher creations, for there is no 
doubt that, according to the laws of creation, the 
earthy elements, even to the sands of the ocean 
and the rocks of the hills, as well as every mineral 
and every gaseous element found on the earth or 
root of this tree of worlds, propagate and multiply 
through sympathetic coition and grow from infancy 
to maturity, passing away at different stages of life, 
as in the higher creations. 

Of this there is proof in the fact that by deposit- 
ing minerals of any kind in different sections of 
the earth, where the climate is adapted to their 
propagation and growth, they in time will begin 
to propagate and multiply, in a way analogous to 
that of vegetable life. This is why there are being 
found different minerals and different gaseous ele- 
ments in different sections of the earth, where years 
ago they were unknown; for there is no creation, 
it makes no difference of what form of life, that can 
exist or be created, except through sympathetic 
coition, even that of human life, the highest crea- 
tion, where sympathy prompts the act of coitive 
pleasure. 



20 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER VI 

THE CREATION OF THE HILLS AND VALLEYS 

When these masses of waste which had accumu- 
lated in different sections of this liquid space had 
grown from moist to earthy deposit, through the 
law of crystallization, they were subjected to the 
disturbing movements of the liquid elements, or 
water, which were caused by the phenomenal force 
of the elements of electricity, which are the vibra- 
tory elements of the motion of life and are the 
offspring of the elements of the growth of life, 
cold and heat. After the law of segmentation had 
divided the elements which constituted the sub- 
stance of this first seed of life into worlds, the 
first elements that were created or born of the two 
elements of the growth of life, cold and heat, were 
the two elements of electricity, the positive and 
the negative, which are the female and the male 
elements of the vibratory motions of life, of which 
one could not exist without the other; yet in their 
creation, the positive, or female element, would have 
to precede that of the negative, the male element. 
That these two elements are the offspring of the 
elements of the growth of life, cold and heat, there 
is proof in the fact that cold and heat are the ele- 
ments of contraction and expansion, and that the 
different bodies or elements that are the greatest 
abductors of cold and heat are also the greatest 
abductors of electrical elements, making both ele- 
ments analogous in their function of the growth of 
life. 

While the earthly deposit which had been created 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 21 

from these deposits of waste was growing to the 
condition of solid earth through the law of crystalli- 
zation, so every world as an organ of this tree of 
worlds, each element and each world as an organ 
were growing in proportion to their function of life, 
so that the liquid elements, or elements of water, 
grew to a stage wherein their activity through the 
phenomenal forces of the vibratory elements of life, 
caused waves in the liquid world, thus causing these 
earthy deposits which were in a semi-liquid state 
to form the hills, mountains and valleys, which have 
grown in size and shape as this tree of worlds grew, 
until they are the great hills, mountains and valleys 
of the present age. 

What is said of the earth's surface can be said 
of the root of this tree of worlds, for this tree of 
worlds has many roots and branches of great depths, 
there is no doubt, as there is not one creation that 
can be pointed out that does not have roots and 
branches or their equivalent. Even the sands of 
the ocean have what is analogous to roots and 
branches. 

While the hills, mountains and valleys which had 
been created by the waves of the liquid world were 
growing to maturity, so were the different species 
of rocks and minerals of the earth, which had been 
created through the law of crystallization, or law 
of transformation, from waste of different earthy 
elements which had accumulated through the 
growth of the earth, or root of this tree of worlds, 
under different phenomena of the growth of life. 
For this there is proof in the fact that on one side 
of the hill or mountain can be found one or two 
species of rocks or minerals, while on the other 
side may be found different species, which shows 
that in their creation they were created from differ- 



22 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

ent constituents of waste, which had accumulated 
from the growth of different earthy elements under 
different phenomena of the elements of the growth 
of life, cold and heat. And that for the hills, moun- 
tains and valleys to be created through the upheaval 
of the earth by so-called volcanoes could not be pos- 
sible, for no one or two elements could destroy all 
other elements. If such were the case, there could 
be no organic life. The upheaval of the so-called 
volcanoes began thousands of years after the earth 
or root of this tree of worlds had been created, there 
is no doubt, and it is only proof that all earthy 
elements propagate and multiply through sympa- 
thetic coition and that there are new earthly ele- 
ments being created every season, which live and 
grow according to the laws of waste and accumula- 
tion, analogous to those of vegetable, human and 
animal life; so that the upheavals or volcanoes are 
caused through the propagating and multiplying 
of the different gaseous elements which accumulate 
in certain sections adapted to their propagation, and, 
being elements of expansion, the pressure becomes 
so great that explosions take place, thus igniting 
the carbonating elements, causing volcanos or erup- 
tions of the earth's surface in certain sections 
adapted to the propagation of these gaseous and 
carbonating elements. As the root or earthy part 
of this tree of worlds in which we live grew from 
a mere speck of moist gaseous elements, after burst- 
ing forth from the shell of darkness, so did the 
trunk and branches, so-called the heavenly part, 
grow from a mere speck of dry gaseous elements 
to the great tree and branches, so-called the heav- 
ens, which has been divided through the law of 
segmentation into worlds as organs of this tree of 
worlds, analogous to those of organic life; so that 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 23 

in the creation of the trunk and branches of this 
tree of worlds, as well as in that of the root, there 
is the analogy of every element with every organ 
and every function of life as in vegetable life, which 
is an offspring or growth of this tree of worlds ; and 
as animal life is an offspring of vegetable life, there 
is an analogy in all creation — which cannot be 
disputed, for in all creations the law of inheritance 
is one law of creation which cannot be denied. In 
the creation of the worlds as organs of this tree of 
worlds, there are the moon and the sun, which are 
the brains and the hearts of this tree of worlds. 
They are the center of life and the center of force, 
just as in vegetable, human and animal life. No 
organic life can exist without these two centers of 
life and force. 

In the different so-called planets there are found 
analogies to the organs of respiration, assimilation 
and elimination with every phenomenon of the func- 
tion of life, just as in vegetable, human and animal 
life. In the stars there is found the analogy of the 
' bloom or foliage of vegetable life, which marks 
every branch of this tree of worlds. In fact there 
is not one phenomenal function of life in the anat- 
omy and physiology of vegetable, human and ani- 
mal life that is not found in the anatomy and physi- 
ology of this tree of worlds. 

In the creation of vegetable, human and animal 
life there is a phenomenon in their anatomy and 
physiology which has never been recognized, yet 
such is the case. To point out these phenomena we 
will take the anatomy and physiology of human and 
animal life, they being an offspring or creation from 
vegetable life. The phenomenon being in a more 
pronounced state of development, so that in point- 
ing out this phenomenon it can be more readily 



24 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

seen or understood. In the creation of vegetable, 
human and animal life, as well as in that of 
all organic life, there were created two, or what 
is analogous to two, the female and the male, 
of every organ and every element known to that 
of organic life. In the human and the animal there 
are two brains, the female and the male, with two 
or what is analogous to two of both sexes of every 
membrane and every organ or substance that con- 
stitutes these two brains. There are two eyes, the 
female and the male. There are two, or what is 
analogous to two, of every organ that constitutes 
the organs of the throat. There are two lungs, two 
hearts in one, two stomachs, two livers, two kidneys 
and two suprarenal capsules. In the female there 
are two ovaries, the female and the male; in the 
male two testicles, the female and the male, it being 
through this phenomenon that the two sexes are 
created. There is what is analogous to two spines, 
giving off two sets of nerves, with their many 
branches, analogous to the tree of vegetable life. 
There are two circulations, with two life fluids, 
analogous to the female and the male. In fact, there is 
not one organ, gland or membrane known to human 
and animal life that does ont exist in the two sexes, 
and there is not one organ or gland that gives off 
a secreting fluid but that the constituents of that 
fluid exist in the analogy of the two sexes. What 
is said of human and animal life, its analogy is found 
in that of vegetable life. In the anatomy and physi- 
ology of this tree of worlds there is found the same 
phenomenon of life as found in vegetable, human 
and animal life. There are two, or what is analo- 
gous to two, moons and two suns, which admit of a 
double circulation, or the circulation of two life 
fluids. They are the brains and the hearts of this 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 25 

tree of worlds, the center of life and the center of 
force, without the analogy of which no organic life 
could exist. There are two, or what is analogous 
to two, the female and the male, of each of the 
planets, which constitute the organs of respiration, 
assimilation and elimination. There are two life 
fluids which circulate through this whole tree of 
worlds, analogous to that of vegetable, human and 
animal life. They are the female and male ele- 
ments of life, which in their double circulation 
through this tree of worlds mark the day from the 
night, or darkness from the light. 

Even the stars abide in the two sexes, the female 
and the male, all of which are nourished from the 
earth, or root of this tree of worlds; just as the body 
and branches of the vegetable tree are nourished 
through its roots, so that in the creation and growth 
of this tree of worlds there is found a tree of worlds 
which was created or born of the creators through 
a germ and seed of life analogous to that of all 
organic life, for there can be no organic life without 
being created or born through the analogy of a germ 
and seed of life. A tree of worlds which is station- 
ary and grew upright, round in shape, with roots 
and branches, and with a center or spine, so-called 
axis, with worlds as organs of the function of life, 
the whole being covered with two crusts or barks 
analogous to those of vegetable, human and animal 
life, which are, as we said before, simply offsprings 
or growths from this tree of worlds. That this tree 
of worlds is stationary and grew upright there is 
proof in the fact that in the anatomy and physiology 
of this tree of worlds there is found the analogy 
of every phenomenon of life, as found in that of 
vegetable, human and animal life ; and as all vege- 
table, human and animal life was born of this parent 



26 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

tree of worlds, one direct and the other indirect, the 
phenomena of their creation and life could not be 
different, so that the idea that this world is oval in 
shape and revolves upon its axis with the sun and 
the moon revolving around the earth could not be 
possible. The idea having originated through man's 
imaginations in his days of primitive knowledge, 
and which has been admitted up to the present time 
through his creeds, which admit of no foundation 
for the teachings of the true scientific laws of 
creations.

CHAPTER VII 

CREATION OF VEGETABLE LIFE 

Now that we have traced up the creation and 
growth of the creators, the god and the godhead, 
with creation and growth of this tree of worlds, 
so-called the earth and heavens, in which we live, 
we ask when and how was vegetable life created; 
when and how was human life created; when and 
how was animal life created; all of which can be 
easily found by tracing up the great broad and true 
laws of creation, in which is found the image of 
all that is created in life, for there is not one creation 
that can exist without being created in the image 
of the creators. In order that we may trace up the 
true creation of vegetable life, we will have to go 
back to the time when the earth or root of this tree 
of worlds was being created through the law of 
crystallization from the deposit of waste, which had 
accumulated in different sections of what was at 
that time the liquid earth, that we may find the 
elements as well as the law and process through 
which the first vegetable life was created. When 
the process of crystallization of these deposits which 
had accumulated in different sections of the liquid 
world had progressed to that stage wherein earthy 
deposits had been created, there had accumulated 
along the edges of the liquid and earthy deposit 
another species of waste which had been thrown off 
through the process of crystallization, thus making 
elements of liquid waste, from whence was created 
vegetable life, through the law of fermentation, 
which is a law of construction, a law in which new 



28 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

life is created from waste through fermentation, 
superinduced by the elements of the growth of life, 
cold and heat, which had grown in power as this 
tree of worlds had grown, until they were capable 
of producing fermentation of this liquid waste. In 
the creation of the first vegetable life, through the 
law of fermentation there was first created a propa- 
gating ptomaine, which prepared the waste as soil 
for the propagation, first of the vegetable cell or 
spore, from whence grew the first germ and the 
first seed of vegetable life, which has grown step 
by step to that of the great trees of vegetable life, 
which are simply branches or growths from the root 
of this tree of worlds; branches in which the tree is 
the highest creation of vegetable life. Created in 
infancy in darkness, as all creations are, these first 
germs of vegetable life grew to maturity when they 
began to propagate and multiply through sympa- 
thetic coition until the whole earth or root has be- 
come populated with vegetable growths of many 
species, the different species being created through 
the difference in the constituents of the liquid waste, 
which had accumulated from water of different 
constituents in different sections, under different 
phenomena of the elements of the growth of life. 

Thus it was that from the beginning of the crea- 
tion of vegetable life there were created different 
species of vegetable life, as found in different parts 
of the earth or root of this tree of worlds. In the 
creation of these first vegetable cells and spores 
through the law of fermentation, there is no doubt 
but that there were a number of both sexes created 
at the same time. Yet, the creation of the female 
would have to precede that of the male, from the 
fact that in creations from fermentation, as in that 
of all creations, life, which is the soil, would have 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 29 

to precede motion, the male, so that in all creations 
the element of life would have to precede that of 
motion. How long it has been since the creation of 
the first vegetable life there is no means of knowing, 
but as this tree of worlds grew from a mere speck of 
darkness, and as time grew as this tree of worlds 
grew, it would take thousands of years of time for 
this tree of worlds to grow to that stage wherein 
vegetable life could have been created. And as 
time was yet in its infancy, without being reckoned, 
and as vegetable life grew through the law of evo- 
lution, from an invisible vegetable growth to that 
of the present stage, it should still be thousands of 
years since the first vegetable life was created, 
which has grown from an invisible infant growth to 
that of the tree, the highest creation of vegetable 
life. 

Now, in order to prove that it was through the 
law of fermentation that the first vegetable life was 
created, and that it grew through the law of evolu- 
tion from an imperfect to a perfect vegetable 
growth, is to produce vegetable life through arti- 
ficial fermentation and watch its growth through 
artificial cultivation, and it will convince any in- 
telligent mind that this was the true source of the 
creation of vegetable life. That there is new 
vegetable life being created every season in the 
same way, there is no doubt, but the process of 
growth and the change which takes place during 
their growth, through the law of evolution, is so 
slow that they are lost sight of; this with the new 
species which are created every season, through the 
amalgamation of the different species, makes it al- 
most impossible to follow the growth of these new 
creations.

CHAPTER VIII 

CREATION OF HUMAN LIFE 

Now that we have found the true creation of the 
first vegetable life, we ask, when and how was 
human life created; when and how was animal life 
created. Could it have been possible for human life 
to have been created in the way which we are 
taught? Could such a creation have been possible? 

Such a creation of human life could not have been 
possible, for all creations are created or born 
through the great scientific laws of creation, and 
could not have been created in such an unscientific 
way as we are taught. Human and animal life are 
analogous. Human life is the first and the highest 
creation of animal life, and was human in function 
from the beginning of creation. In order that we 
may find the true source of the creation of both 
human and animal life, we will have to go back 
to the creation of vegetable life, that we may trace 
up the true source of the creation of both human 
and animal life. The true source of the creation 
of the first human and animal life was through the 
law of decomposition, which is a law of construc- 
tion, a law analogous to that of fermentation, in 
which new life is created from disintegrated matter 
through the elements of growth, cold and heat. 
After what would have been thousands of years at 
that period of the growth of this tree of worlds, 
had time been reckoned then, and when vegetable 
life had grown to that stage wherein it was capable 
of undergoing decomposition, there had accumu- 
lated in different sections of the root, or earth, 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 31 

masses of disintegrated vegetable matter, of the one 
species, that of the first creation, which underwent 
decomposition through the power of the elements 
of growth, which had also grown in power as the 
tree of worlds had grown, until they were capable 
of producing decomposition of these masses of 
vegetable matter, thus creating the first human 
germ, which was animal in function ; yet being the 
first creation from the first and highest creation 
of vegetable life, they have grown through the law 
of evolution to that of human, the highest of the 
animal creation. So that in place of human life 
being created or growing from the lower creations 
of animal life, to that of human life, it grew from 
the higher creation of animal life, which was human 
in function, from the beginning. This is why 
human life, though animal in function, is so much 
higher than animal life. 

As time went on there were different species of 
vegetable life created in different sections of the 
root, or earth, of this tree of worlds, through the 
law of fermentation, each species undergoing the 
same dissolution and decomposition, thus creating 
the different species of human and animal life 
found in the different sections of the earth's surface. 
In this there is proof from the fact that in every 
section of the earth where there are found different 
species of vegetable life, there are found different 
species of both human and animal life. Not only 
in this do we have proof that human and animal 
life were created from vegetable life, but there is 
positive proof in the fact that there is not one thing 
that can be pointed out in the creation of vegetable 
life that its analogy cannot be seen in the creation 
and growth of human and animal life, the greatest 
difference in the analogy being that vegetable life 



32 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

is stationary as to position, yet pliable or movable 
as to body, while human and animal life, being of a 
higher creation, are movable both as to position and 
body. 

In the creation of human and animal life through 
the law of decomposition, as in that of vegetable 
life through the law of fermentation, there is first 
created a propagating ptomaine which prepares the 
decomposed matter as soil for the propagation of 
the germs. Thus it is that in all creation it is not 
the germ that first produces life, but a propagating 
ptomaine which is invisible, and in which exist the 
two elements of all life, which contain the same 
elements as those of the creators, life and motion. 

Now that we have found the true creation of life 
from the creators to that of human life, we ask, 
what of the law of inheritance? Is there such a law, 
and what relation does that law bear to all created 
life? Would it be possible for any life to be created 
without being created or born of the creators, the 
image of which is seen in all that is created? Would 
it be possible for there to be any creation of life 
without the offspring bearing some image, either 
in shape, form or habits to that of the parents? 
Would it be possible for the tree, the highest crea- 
tion of vegetable life, to be created or grow from 
this tree of worlds without bearing some image of 
that parent tree from which it grew? Would it 
be possible for human or animal life to be created 
of vegetable life without being analogous in some 
way to that vegetable life? As the image of the 
creators follows all that is created, so does the image 
of the parent follow that of the offspring. If the 
earth or root of this tree of worlds, so-called the 
earth and heavens, is round and spherical in shape, 
and revolves on its axis; if the sun and the moon 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 33 

revolve around the earth, as we are taught, why- 
is it that everything that is created is created with 
branches. There is not one creation that can be 
pointed out, but is created with branches or their 
analogy. Could this be possible, according to the 
laws of inheritance, if this so-called world was 
round and the earth revolved on its axis with the 
moon and the sun revolving around the earth ; could 
it be possible for the moon and the sun to revolve 
around the earth, when the analogy of the same 
organs in vegetable, human and animal life, which 
c*re direct and indirect offspring from this tree of 
worlds, are stationary? Would it be likely that the 
great creators would create such an unscientific 
piece of work as what we are taught in the creation 
of the world, yet create all other life according to 
the great broad and true laws of conception and 
growth? Such could not be possible, for all life 
must be created through conception and growth 
by the creators, and this tree of worlds could be no 
exception. So that the law of inheritance is proof 
that this tree of worlds, so-called the earth and 
heavens, is an organic tree of worlds, analogous to 
that of vegetable life, and not the unscientific world, 
that we are taught. 

In the analogy of vegetable, human and animal 
life, how many students of nature have ever stopped 
to note the perfect analogy of the creation, life and 
habits of human and animal life to that of vegetable 
life? In their creation they were created through 
the laws of fermentation and decomposition, which 
are analogous, as they are both laws of production. 
They live, grow and propagate by the same laws 
of waste and accumulation. They grow to a higher 
state of purity through the same law of evolution. 
In vegetable life there is found the analogy of 



34 



THE TREE OP WORLDS 



every organ with every function and every sense 
of life known to that of the highest creation, of 
human life. In vegetable life they sleep by night 
and enjoy by day, just as does human life. They 
have their vegetable likes and dislikes. They see, 
hear and have the same sense of smell as that of 
human life. They have what is analogous to the 
same pleasure as that of human and animal life. 
They cohabit and propagate through what is analo- 
gous to the same sense of pleasure, the offspring 
being created through a germ of life analogous 
to that of human life. In fact, there is not 
one phenomenon of life that can be pointed out in 
human and animal life but its analogy can be found 
in that of vegetable life. How many students of 
nature have ever passed through the forest and 
noted the perfect analogy of the life and growth 
of the trees to that of human life. There you will 
see the young, the middle-aged and the aged. You 
will see the beautiful and homely, the short and the 
thick, the tall and the slender, the symmetrical and 
the unsymmetrical, the bent and the stooped. You 
will see the maimed and the paralytic, with their 
dead branches, and those who have been fortunate 
and unfortunate. You will see the difference in 
those nourished by rich soil. You will see the weak 
and the strong, and will often see the stronger de- 
stroying the weaker, just the same as in human 
life. You will see the different species of the tree, 
with their different habits and their different dispo- 
sitions. You will see the whole analogy of the crea- 
tion of life, of vegetable, human and animal life, so 
perfect that there can be no mistake regarding the 
relations they bear to each other. Could this be 
possible were it not through the law of inheritance? 
Could it be possible for vegetable; human and ani- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 35 

mal life to bear any analogy to each other, if it were 
not through this law of inheritance ? 



36 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 



CHAPTER IX 



THE AIM OF LIFE 



Now that we have traced the analogy of all crea- 
tion through the law of inheritance, we ask, What 
of life? What is the aim and purpose of life? Is 
all life analogous? Is all life endowed with intel- 
lect? Is all life capable of active thought? The aim 
and purpose of life as created by the creators is 
pleasure and happiness. What is there in this 
world that is greater than pleasure and happiness? 
If this were not the case, why is it that everything 
that is beautiful to the eye and pleasant to the sense 
of hearing is so pleasant to life? Purity and perfect 
happiness are the chief aims of all life as created 
by the creators. All life is analogous, from the low- 
est to the highest. Yet all life is created in different 
intellectual scales of purity or impurity, according 
to the soil from which it was created. This is 
shown in the creation of vegetable life, as well as in 
human and animal life. Sow the seed of vegetable 
life in poor soil, and the growth therefrom will 
belong to a low state of vegetable life. So it is 
with human and animal life. 

All life in its normal state is endowed with a 
certain amount of intellect, according to the scale 
of life in which it exists. There can be no life 
without intellect, as intellect is a part of life. In 
the idiot or irresponsible it is a disarrangement of 
this part of life. All normal life is capable of active 
thought, according to the scale of life in which 
it exists, first as an instinct, which later grows 
into the power of active thought. Instinct and 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 37 

thought are both parts of normal life. If such were 
not the case, what object or purpose would there 
be in life? There could be no creation without 
active intellect and active thought, as they form the 
inspiration of all active life. In vegetable life the 
instinctive powers are greater than they are in 
human and animal life, vegetable life being a direct 
growth from the root of the parent tree, or tree 
of worlds, and, being stationary, it is endowed with 
the highest scale of active instinct, while human 
and animal life, which are a higher creation, and 
migratory in their movements, are endowed with the 
highest scale of active thought. Human life, being 
the highest creation of animal life, is capable of 
exercising the highest degree of active thought 
known to life. 



38 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER X 

HUMAN LIFE 

Now that we have considered the relation of 
active instinct, intellect and thought to vegetable, 
human and animal life, we ask, what of human life? 
What of woman, and what of man? Were they 
created with equal power and intelligence? What 
of civilization? Are we civilized? Is the life we 
are living consistent with that of true civilization? 
What of the hereafter? Are there such places as 
heaven and hell? Are we born agan, or do we 
enter a place of enjoyment or sorrow forever and 
ever, as we are taught? Does this tree of worlds 
ever die or pass away? 

Human and animal life are analogous. Created 
from vegetable life through the law of decomposi- 
tion, they are analogous not only in flesh and blood 
but in every instinct of normal life, the difference 
being that human life was created from the first and 
highest creation of vegetable life, while animal life 
was created from the lower and mixed species of 
vegetable life. So that we will only consider human 
life. But what of human life? What of man, and 
what of woman? Were they created with equal 
power and intellect, or was man created superior 
to woman? Could it be possible for man to be 
created superior to woman, when they were both 
created from the same material, at the same time, 
with the same law, and by the same creators? 
According to the great, broad and true laws of crea- 
tion that know neither creeds nor doctrines, it was 
woman that was created first and not man ; and that 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 39 

woman and man were created representing two 
opposite powers, equal in force, but with the addi- 
tion of woman's mission and woman's birthright, it 
makes her superior to that of man in created life; 
for man could not exist without woman, as woman 
is the soil for the propagation of man. But man 
stole woman's birthright, not by stealth nor by- 
force, but by his creeds, which originated with him 
in his primitive days through tyranny, deceit and 
hypocrisy. 

As human life grew from that of a primitive state 
to that of an intelligent human being, capable of self- 
government in a primitive way, man, who repre- 
sents the force of life, conceived, through his igno- 
rance of the true laws of creation, imaginary creeds, 
so-called inspirations, through which he stole 
woman's birthright and practically enslaved her for 
years. This is why woman does not enjoy her 
normal place as a factor in the world of life. But 
there is nature's great law of evolution, which in 
time rights all things. The first shall be last and the 
last shall be first. That woman will take her normal 
place as a factor and power in active life, you need 
only go back ten and twenty years and note the 
great change that has taken place in woman's life. 
And then look forward fifty or a hundred years 
when you will see woman the leading power, not by 
physical force, but through that inherited power 
of created life given her by the creators. In the 
creation of all life, even in the elements that con- 
stitute organic life, there is found the same phe- 
nomenon of life wherein the male element, or 
element which represents the force of life, would 
destroy the opposite or female, element if it were 
not that it is the life-giving element which cannot 
be destroyed by the element of force, as the element 



40 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

of force could not exist without the element of 
life. 

In the creation of man's creeds by man, the so- 
called inspiration, they were not inspired direct from 
God or the creators, as that would be impossible. 
Inspiration is a law of activity — a law of active life, 
in which all life lives and acts through the law of 
inspiration, which was the first law that was created 
by the creators. There could be no active life if it 
were not for this law of inspiration. A law like 
that of all creation, which admits of the two op- 
posites, so that both good and bad were inspired 
from this same law of active life or active creation. 
No life could exist without this law of inspiration, 
and those who set themselves up as being possessed 
of inspirations direct from God or the creators do 
so through ignorance of the true law of inspiration. 
Man in his primitive days, being ignorant of the 
true laws of creation, used the word inspiration 
for all good, as being direct from God, that his 
creeds and power might be more impressive to the 
people ; it being through this false assumption that 
man gained his monopolistic power over woman. 
But in the light of true creation such teachings are 
becoming obsolete and passing away, as does all 
creation. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 41 

CHAPTER XI 

WHAT OF CIVILIZATION 

But what of civilization? Are we civilized? Are 
we leading a true life of civilization? Have we 
reached that stage of human intellect due a truly- 
civilized people? 

We are as yet in our infancy in civilization. We 
are but a few grades above that of the heathen in 
our creeds, and but a few grades above that of 
animal life in our modes and habits of life. Let 
us lay aside all teachings under man's creeds, right 
or wrong, that we may analyze the so-called civi- 
lized life that we are living, and see if it is in ac- 
cord with the great, broad and true laws of crea- 
tion. 

The heathen in their creeds of a primitive life 
set up and worship an idol of wood and stone, as 
an intermediary between themselves and the great 
spirits above, that their sins may not be mitigated 
or forgiven, for they know no sin, but that they 
may pass into the spirit world, where they in their 
primitive thoughts wish to enjoy the same pleas- 
ures and happiness of life as in this world. While 
we in our boasted civilization are worshipping un- 
der man's creeds, not the great spirit, but are wor- 
shipping a female god as a male god, in place of 
worshipping the creators, the god and the godhead, 
the creators of all creation, and have set up an idol 
of our own flesh and blood as an intermediary, 
that we may enter that spirit world free from the 
sins of a vicious life, that we may enjoy the pleas- 
ures, or, in other words, a life of idleness forever 



42 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

and ever. Which idea of the hereafter is the most 
intelligent? Ours is certainly the most misleading, 
for it teaches that it makes no difference how vic- 
ious our lives have been on earth, all we have to 
do when we come to die is to lie down on our 
couch and appeal to that intermediary, that idol of 
flesh and blood, and we will wake up in the spirit 
world free from the sin of a vicious life. Could 
this be possible according to the great laws of crea- 
tion? For was not the material in life of which 
the heathen's idol was created or made, conceived 
and born of the creators in a way analogous to that 
of flesh and blood? For there is no life that can 
exist, or could be created, without being created 
or born as set forth, as well as a male? Why was 
intermediary between the creators and the created? 
Are the creators so great that there must be an 
intermediary between themselves and human life? 
Why was there not a female intermediary created 
or born as set forth, as well as a male? Why was 
man alone selected? Why is it that vegetable and 
animal life, which have souls in their sphere of life 
just as does human life, and are growing to a higher 
state of purity and intellect, through the law of evo- 
lution, as time goes on, have no intermediary to in- 
tercede for them as has human life? Even the 
heathen with their artificial idols are gradually 
growing through that same law of evolution to a 
higher and more intelligent life. Why, then, should 
human life, the highest creation of intellectual life, 
need an intermediary to mitigate the sins of a vic- 
ious life, that they may enter that spirit world in 
a pure state? Could it be possible for such to be 
the case? 

Neither man's creeds nor his intermediary idol 
of flesh and blood will have any more influence in 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 43 

changing the soul of that vicious life, when it passes 
into that spirit world, than the heathen's artificial 
idol of wood and stone would have. For there is 
no law of creation that can be changed by the creeds 
of man, and there is no law of creation that will 
admit of human life being changed before or after 
passing into that spirit world by the creeds of man ; 
for the great, broad and true laws of creation are 
imperative, and could not be changed except through 
the great law of higher creation, evolution.

CHAPTER XII 



WHAT OF OUR SOCIAL LIFE 



But what of our social and intellectual life? Are 
we civilized? Are we far above animal life in our 
modes and habits of life? Let us again lay aside 
all prejudice, right or wrong, and look at our modes 
and habits of life with an unbiassed mind; and what 
do we see? 

In the first place, we see great nations going out 
and killing off and destroying the possessions and 
happiness of smaller nations, just as the wild animals 
do, even down to the ant — killing off and destroy- 
ing the possessions and happiness which had been 
given them by the creators. For what? To satisfy 
man's vicious greed, which has not as yet grown 
above that of animal life. To satisfy that part of 
man's vicious life which has not as yet grown above 
that of animal life. Look at the many vicious and 
tyrannical laws under which we are living, so-called 
laws of civilization, based on man's creeds; laws 
which are manufacturing criminals almost as fast 
as human life is being created. Look at our great 
prisons, which stand as a monument to these tyran- 
nical and vicious laws of man. Look at our asy- 
lums, which stand as a monument to the vicious 
and strenuous life we are living, a life born of 
avarice and ignorance. Look at our child slavery, 
made by the accursed greed and tyranny of man's 
commercial life. The lowest heathen on the face 
of the earth would turn his face with shame at such 
degrading slavery of childhood life. Would this 
be so if we were living a truly civilized and intel- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 45 

ligent life, according to the laws of creation ? Look 
at our propagating life. The lowest animal of the 
jungle, and the lowest heathen that can be found 
pays as much attention to the purity of the propa- 
gation of life as we do. Look all around us at 
the degradation and distress. Caused by what? 
By man's commercial slavery, under the guise of 
respectability. A system of commercial slavery 
wherein a few can dictate to the whole world what 
they shall pay for the commodities of life, even 
for the salt of the earth, which is a necessity of life. 
Would a truly civilized and intelligent people allow 
such to be the case? Look at our financial world. 
A more monopolistic system of finance could not 
be devised by man ; a system contrary to every law 
of nature, and every law of a healthy finance, and 
is in accord with man's tyrannical laws of com- 
mercial life under the guise of respectability. Look 
at our political world. What of it? Corruption, 
deceit and hypocrisy mark it from beginning to 
end. There is but little honor or integrity, noth- 
ing but that same spirit of man's tyrannical greed 
and oppression, which marks his commercial and 
financial world, all under the guise of respectabil- 
ity and modern life. Is this civilization? Is such 
a life the life of a truly civilized and intelligent 
people? Could it be possible that it was ever de- 
signed that we should live such lives under the 
guise of civilization? But how long will such a 
life last? Will it always be so? Will man's tyran- 
nical laws always rule the world? Does not every- 
thing according to the great laws of creation de- 
cay and pass away? 

So will man's reign of tyranny, with his creeds 
and laws, and the teachings of nature's great laws 
of love, honor and integrity will take their place. 



46 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

When? As soon as that great law of evolution, 
that law of higher creation, can give back to woman 
that stolen birthright, that she may take her place 
in active life which has been designed for her by 
the creators, as a checkmate to the tyrannical power 
of man. When through that same law of creation 
we have reached that stage of intellectual life where 
we are capable of basing all creeds and laws on the 
great laws of creation, which are love, honor and 
integrity — in place of tyranny, greed and deceit 
— then, and not until then, will human life begin to 
enjoy the pleasures of a higher civilized life. Then, 
and not until then, will human life begin to enjoy 
the happiness and pleasures of a truly civilized and 
highly intellectual life, as designed for us by the 
creators. 

How many persons are there who have gone 
out after a very hot day and cast their eyes over 
the earth as far as the eye could see, and noted 
the destruction being wrought by the heat or male 
element of the growth of life — how all vegetation 
was wilting and drying up; how the tiny flower as 
well as the staid old oak was suffering from the 
merciless power of that element of heat? Even 
the earth was being robbed of its life-giving power. 
How all creation would be destroyed were it not 
for an opposing element of equal power. 

How many have gone out the next morning and 
noted the great change that had taken place, under 
the opposing force of the female element, the ele- 
ment of cold — how all vegetation had opened up 
its foliage and grown in power and beauty; how 
the tiny flower and the great oak had bloomed 
forth alike in honor to the life-giving element of 
cold? So it is with every element that constitutes 
organic life, as all elements exist as the female 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 4? 

and male, in which the male element, or element 
of force, would destroy the element of life, if it were 
not for the opposing element which is equal in 
power. In animal life as well as in vegetable life 
there is the same phenomenon of life. In human 
life man's tyrannical power, like that of the heat, 
would destroy all the happiness and pleasures of 
life were it not for the opposing power of woman, 
which has been withered and oppressed by man's 
greed of power, until through nature's great law 
of evolution she is gradually taking her normal 
place as the opposing power of man's tyrannical 
greed of power; and the time will come sooner or 
later when man will be shorn of his monopolistic 
and tyrannical power, not only in the commercial 
world, but in the political world, as well as in that 
of all life.

CHAPTER XIII. 

SCIENCE 

What is science? What relation does science 
bear to life? Is science created or is it merely a 
prefix to life? Are there different species of science, 
as there are species in created life? Or is the word 
science merely nominal? 

Science is the art of collective knowledge of 
the true laws of creation, through which all life 
is created and governed. Scientific laws are crea- 
tions analogous to those of created life ; in fact, 
laws are a part of life, as it is through laws of in- 
tellect that all life comes into force. The creation 
of scientific laws began with the creation of the 
creators, life and motion, and grew from infancy 
to maturity as did life, the law of inspiration being 
the first law created. For no life could exist without 
this law, not even the creators themselves could 
exist without this great law of inspiration, 
which is a law of intellect, through which all life 
is in force. Laws, therefore, are creations which 
are created and grow, as life grows, to maturity 
and power, and are demonstrated in the growth of 
life itself. 

Science, like all life, exists in different species, 
each species being peculiar to the kind of life rep- 
resented. This being the case, science is the rudi- 
ment of knowledge and the beginning of intellect, 
which began with the law of inspiration, which was 
itself created and grew to intellectual purity and 
power wherein all life is created and governed — 
ever a higher and purer state as new life is created. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 49 

This being the case, why is not the teaching of 
creation and life based on these great, true, yet plain 
laws of creation, instead of on man's imaginary one- 
power mechanical laws, which are so impossible 
that no part of them could be true. For this reason 
there is but little science taught that could be true, 
and none that could be strictly scientific. For all 
scientific teachings of the present day are based, 
not on the true laws of creation through propaga- 
tion and growth, but on man's imaginary creation 
through mechanism, which could not be true. 

We, therefore, through these teachings, are liv- 
ing a life of unscientific ignorance, based on man's 
teachings, which should not be the case when the 
great scientific laws of creation through propaga- 
tion and growth are so plain and true. 



50 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER XIV 

SCIENCE OF THE CREATION OF LIFE 

What of the creation of life? Are the teachings 
of the creation of life, as taught, true? Could they 
be true according to the great, true laws of crea- 
tion through propagation and growth? Could it 
be possible for anything to be created or grow 
from a piece of mechanism, as the teaching of the 
creation of the world and of human life would in- 
dicate? 

There is nothing taught in regard to the creation 
of life that could be true and nothing that could 
be scientific, for it is contrary to every law of crea- 
tion as taught by the scientific laws through which 
all life is created. That the world was created in 
seven days, like a piece of mechanism, by a single 
power, is foolish to think about, to say the least, 
for there could be no time until the creation of the 
world was complete ; or, in other words, time was 
created and grew with the creation of the world. 
How, then, could seven days have been reckoned, 
even though the world had been created through 
mechanism, as taught. If the world is a piece of 
mechanism, with the earth revolving on its axis 
and the sun and moon revolving around the earth, 
how could there be creations and growth from it, 
when there is nothing created in life except that 
which is created through propagation and growth? 
Could it be possible for any one power to create 
anything except as a piece of mechanism? Could 
it be possible for life to have been created by a 
single power, as taught, when everything that is 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 51 

created is created through propagation and growth 
form the lowest form of unseen life that can exist 
and grow, to that of mature life? Could it have 
been possible for any one power to have created 
life, when no life can exist except that which exists 
through two opposite forces? Could it have been 
possible for one power to have created and ruled 
the world all these thousands of years, when no 
life can have power except that which is self-lim- 
ited in life? 

In the creation of life there is both the seen and 
the unseen life, so that the creation of life began 
according to the laws of creation as demonstrated 
by tracing them backwards to the forces in which 
were the beginnings of unseen life; and as forces 
propagate and multiply the beginnings of life were 
through propagation of two opposite forces that 
were created of a power within themselves, wherein 
one could not exist without the other. This was 
the beginning of life, which grew from mere force 
into the two creating elements, life and motion. 
Now the world was not created as a body through 
propagation and growth, as that would be impos- 
sible, but was created through the propagation of 
elements, offspring of the parent creators, life and 
motion. For the creators must propagate and mul- 
tiply as no life can exist except that which multi- 
plies through propagation. The world, being an 
organic body, each organ or planet is composed of 
active elements of life, which were created through 
propagation and growth. Each organ or planet, 
therefore, is composed of a combination of active 
elements that constitute that organ or planet, each 
element having a function of life peculiar to the 
function of the organ they occupy; it being the 
combination of the functions of these elements that 



52 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

constitutes the function of the organ or planet, 
which they compose. 

In the creation of the elements that constitute 
the organs or planets of this tree of worlds, as in 
that of all life, they were created by two creating 
elements; that is, there were created by and with 
each element, as a part of that element, two creators, 
offspring of the parent creators, life and motion, 
they being that part of the element through which 
it was created and governed; so that, in the crea- 
tors of the elements that constitute organic life 
there is found not only the soul of these elements, 
but that of all life. For each element, being a crea- 
tion within itself, and being an active element with 
a function of life, it must have a soul in its sphere 
of life, analogous to that of all organic life. So 
has every organ or planet of this tree of worlds, 
as well as the world and all that is created ; for 
there is nothing that can exist without a soul of 
life, that soul being the creators of that life, who 
are offspring of the parent creators, life and motion. 

In the creation of all life that constitutes the world 
and all that is created, each element, organ or 
planet, is a creation within itself, from the fact 
that it has a function of life peculiar to itself. It, 
therefore, must have a soul of life just the same 
as that of the body, the soul of which is a combi- 
nation of creators of each element, or organ, of that 
body, which centres in the brains, the seat of life, 
just as does the life that controls every organ of 
the body. In the creation of the world, which be- 
gan with elements that constitute the organs or 
planets of the world, each element, organ or planet 
was created in darkness and grew to light just as 
the light of the world grew ; which was not through 
any command: "Let there be light and there was 






THE TREE OF WORLDS 53 

light," but grew from darkness to semi-darkness 
and from semi-darkness to light as the life fluids 
grew in power; as the world grew from an infant 
world to the great tree of worlds in which we live. 
Now these teachings are according to the great 
scientific laws of creation through propagation and 
growth, which must be the guide for true know- 
ledge of the creation of life, and which could not 
be possible as taught at the present day. 

Now to think of human life being created in the 
same way as that of the world, like a piece of 
mechanism, would be equally foolish, from the fact 
that there is nothing in life that could be created 
except that which is created through laws in which 
the laws of inspiration and intellect must precede 
those of construction ; so that no single power 
could construct human life, or any other life, 
except through mechanism, which would be 
like the creation of the world — impossible, 
as it is contrary to every law governing 
the creation of life. While human and animal life 
were created through the law of decomposition, the 
highest law of construction known to life, they, like 
the world, were created by creators through active 
elements, in which the creators are that part of 
the element that constitutes the intellect and power 
of life, through which each element is created and 
controlled; so that with the creation of each new 
element, organ or body, there are created new crea- 
tors, offspring of the parent creators, life and mo- 
tion ; and when there is dissolution — so-called death 
— of these elements, organs or bodies, the creators 
that created and governed those elements, organs 
or bodies, go back to the life of this tree of worlds 
from which they came, just as the other elements go 
back to the elements from whence they came. Thus 



54 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

it is, that there are new creators being created with 
each new life; so that no one power could have 
lived and ruled all these thousands of years, as we 
are taught. In the creation of human life, as well 
as in that of all organic life, each organ is a combina- 
tion of organic elements within itself, just as the 
body is a combination of organs — organs in which 
each organ has a function of life within itself, the 
function of which is centered in the brains of the 
body; thus making the body an organic body of 
intellectual organs of life, which constitutes the life 
of that body. 

The idea that human life grew from the lower 
animal life, through the law of evolution, is absurd ; 
so much so, that an intelligent heathen would hardly 
believe such teachings. While the law of evolution 
is a great law, it could not develop any species of 
animal life to that of human life, for it is only a 
law of sympathy and not of construction ; there- 
fore, can only influence each species of life to grow 
from a lower to a higher species of life through 
propagation and growth. There could be no miss- 
ing link between human and animal life : that would 
be impossible, as there is no missing link between 
any other species of life. Why, then, would there 
be between human and animal life? That the 
gorilla, ape and monkey are of the same species of 
animal life there is no doubt, and that they are a 
cross between human and animal life there is not 
much doubt, as they originated in a country where 
the lowest form of human life is found. Yet they 
are animal, and always will be animal ; so that the 
idea of human life being anything else but the high- 
est creation of life is erroneous, and contrary to 
the laws that govern the creation of all life. That 
human life is the highest creation of animal life 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 55 

and always was, there is no doubt, as there is proof 
in the fact that human life grows upright, analogous 
to the life of the tree, the highest creation of vege- 
table life, which grows upright as does the world, 
the parent tree, from which is created all life. Not 
only in this is there proof that both the tree and 
human life are the highest creations of vegetable 
and human life, respectively, but there is proof in 
the fact that in the growth of both vegetable 
and animal life there are the two modes of loco- 
motion — that which walks upright and that which 
crawls — which are proof that neither the tree, the 
highest creation of vegetable life, nor human life, 
the highest creation of animal life, ever grew from 
a lower to a higher species of created life, but grew 
through the law of evolution, from a lower to a 
higher growth of the same species of life ; thus 
showing that the law of evolution can only develop 
a creation of life from a lower to a higher scale of 
purity and perfection, and that in all species of life 
there is found that which exists in all grades of life, 
from the lowest to the highest, which is : that in 
their creation through propagation and growth they 
began life in darkness, as infant elements, and grew 
to mature infant life, and then grew in light from 
mature infant life to mature adult life, just as human 
and animal life grows from an element of life to 
mature infant life in utero or darkness, and then 
from mature infant life to mature adult life in light ; 
each creation growing to a higher scale of life 
through that great law of evolution through which 
all life grows to a higher state of purity and per- 
fection. 

Such was the beginning of life with the creators, 
who were created of a power within themselves in 
the lowest form of life that could exist, and grew 



56 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

in darkness to mature elements of life, and in light 
to be the creators and rulers of all the elements 
that constitute the organic life of all that is created. 
Now this can all be proven by beginning with the 
highest creation of life and tracing it backwards 
according to the laws of creation, as far as they 
can be seen, and it will lead back to these two 
creating elements, life and motion, which, if re- 
moved, there could be nothing left — not even an 
imaginary power — and until the scientific and self- 
thinking world takes up these true laws of creation, 
in place of man's mechanically created life, there 
will be no true scientific solution of the creation of 
life and no true civilization. For the teaching of 
a mechanically created life is a blight to the intel- 
lectual teachings of the true laws of creation which 
must be the guide for a true intellectual and pro- 
gressive civilization. 

But intellect grows as all life grows, and so does 
it decay and pass away, and a new life of intellect 
and a higher scale of scientific teaching takes its 
place. So, will the teachings of a mechanically 
created life decay and pass away and new teach- 
ings, in a higher scale of intellect, will take its 
place; then, and not until then, will the epoch 
of a true intellectual civilization begin. For out 
of the crudism of unscientific teachings shall grow 
purity of intellectual teachings, just as out of the 
crudism of inorganic matter grows the perfection 
of organic life. Such will be the teachings of that 
greater and higher life which is to come.

CHAPTER XV 

SCIENCE OF THE WORLD 

What is the world? What is the world like? Is 
there only one world? Is that world a piece of 
mechanism, with the earth revolving on its axis 
and with the moon and sun revolving around the 
earth, after the fashion of a toy? What a beautiful 
picture of man's ignorance, created through man's 
imagination! Could there be such a world? Would 
it be possible for such a world to exist, when there 
is no other life that could exist as a single creation? 
Is it not strange that such teachings could be be- 
lieved in this enlightened day, when the great laws 
of creation teach so differently? 

The world, or universe, is an organic growth that 
grew from a germ and seed of life, the same as that 
of all life, and which is the parent growth from 
whence grew, directly and indirectly, all that is 
created in both the seen and the unseen life ; it 
being through this parentage that the image of 
this first growth is seen in all that is created. That 
this first creation, the world, is in the form and 
shape of a tree, with each so-called planet as an 
organ of the function of life, there is proof in the 
fact that the function of each planet, and of the 
world itself, is analogous to that of all created life. 
That this tree of worlds in which we live is the 
only world that grows from this earth could not 
be possible, from the fact that it would be impos- 
sible for one world to have the diversity of the 
phenomena of life found in the creation of what 
is called the world, or universe. That there are 



58 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

many trees of worlds growing from the earth, there 
is proof in the diversity of created phenomena, 
which are found not only in the phenomena of what 
is called the heavens, but in the creation of the 
different parts of the universe, which could not be 
the case, were the world as one vast creation or 
growth. Not only in these phenomena is there 
proof that there are many trees of worlds growing 
from this earth, in a way similar to that of all 
created life, but in many other ways. Would it 
be possible for the life fluids, with one moon and 
sun, to furnish light, heat and cold for the whole 
universe, when there are so many diversities of 
the light, heat and cold of the different parts 
of the world? Would it be possible for there 
to be such a diversity of atmospheric pressure in 
the different parts of the universe if it were one 
universe? Would it be possible for there to be that 
diversity in the creation of vegetable, human and 
animal life found in the different worlds if the uni- 
verse had been created as one growth? Would it 
be possible for it to be light in one part of the 
universe and dark in another, if the universe were 
one growth? 

These, with many other phenomena, are convinc- 
ing proof that the universe is an organic body of 
many trees of worlds, with as many moons and suns 
so blended together that the light and darkness 
from one overshadows that of the others, so that 
it appears as one vast creation — which could not be 
possible according to the great laws of propagation 
and growth, which must be the guide for the in- 
tellectual, not only of the world, but of all that is 
created. That these worlds are created, decay and 
pass away, in the same manner as does all life, there 
is proof in the history of the old worlds, which 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 59 

are like a tree that has died; yet the trunk stands 
for years as a dead trunk, while other trees have 
grown up around it so closely that when the de- 
cayed trunk falls the old tree is not missed. So 
it is with the worlds; they decay and pass away 
so gradually that the change is not noticeable, es- 
pecially so, as the creation of the world is taught 
mechanically in place of anatomically and physio- 
logically. And, until the scientific world abandons 
the idea of a mechanically created world and takes 
up the true laws of creation through propagation 
and growth, in which the world and all life was 
created, there will be but little scientific knowledge 
as to what this great universe is, and how it was 
created. 



60 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER XVI 

SCIENCE OF ASTRONOMY 

What of astronomy? Is it true as taught? Could 
it be true when taught on the basis of mechanism ? 

Of all the sciences known to the scientific world 
there is none in which there is so little taught that 
is strictly true as in that of astronomy, for all that 
is taught is taught as though the world were a 
piece of mechanism, created and controlled by a 
single power; when, in fact, it is an organic growth, 
the creation of which began with the creation of 
the creators, whose creations, in turn, began as 
elements of force and grew to be the creators of all 
that is created, just as vegetable and animal life 
began as unseen elements of life, and grew to that 
of the great tree and human life of the present day. 
What is taught of astronomy is simply man's imagi- 
nations from the standpoint of mechanism, and is 
absurd. The idea that the world was created me- 
chanically, as taught, is contrary to every law of 
creation, therefore cannot be true. Astronomy, 
therefore, should be taught anatomically and physio- 
logically, for each planet is an active organ of this 
tree of worlds in which there are two, or the 
analogy of two, or more, of each planet, which has 
a seat of growth and a function of life analogous to 
those of vegetable and animal life. Not only is 
this the case, but each planet is composed of smaller 
growths, each of which has a seat of growth and 
a function of life, and which admit of the circulation 
of the life fluids, analogous to those of the organs 
of vegetable and animal life. Not only that, but 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 61 

there is found in the planets or organs of this tree 
of worlds, every sense and activity of life found 
in the organs of all organic life. How, then, could 
the astronomy that is taught at the present time 
be true? The idea that the earth revolves on its 
axis, and the sun and moon revolve around the 
earth, is also absurd. In fact, it is nothing short 
of ignorance to think that there could be creations 
through propagation and growth from such a piece 
of mechanism as we are taught the world is, when 
in all creations the image must follow that of the 
parent through the law of inheritance. Why, then, 
do not some of the organs of vegetable and animal 
life revolve on their axis, when vegetable and ani- 
mal life are direct and indirect offspring from this 
tree of worlds. All the imaginary revolving of the 
earth, sun and moon, is through the circulation of 
the life fluids, and was conceived and taught before 
the circulation of life fluids was understood, and 
before man's intellect had grown to that stage 
wherein it was capable of following the true laws 
of creation. These, with the fact that the creation 
of the world as taught, was made sacred by man for 
man in his primitive days, has retarded the true 
teachings of the creation of the world by the 
creators, through elements of propagation and 
growth; and until there is a change in the teachings 
of astronomy, from the idea of a mechanically 
created world to that of an anatomically and physio- 
logically created world, there will be but little prog- 
ress made, not only in the science of astronomy, 
but in knowledge of the creation of all life. 

That the- different organs, called planets, of this 
tree of worlds, are inhabited, there is no doubt. So 
is the whole tree of worlds; not only by human life, 
but by the life of all that is created on earth, but 



62 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

in the image or spirit form, for there can be no 
creation of life without that life having a soul in 
the sphere of life in which it was created, the soul 
being the life or creators of that creation, and when 
there is dissolution it goes back to the life of this 
tree of worlds from whence it came, just as the 
earthy elements go back to the earth from whence 
they- came; each life seeking the scale of life to 
which it belongs. Human life, being the highest 
creation of life, would, therefore, inhabit the high- 
est developed organ or planet of this tree of worlds, 
it being through this phenomenon that the image 
of human life can be seen occupying some of the 
organs or planets, as has been demonstrated by 
investigating astronomers, but there will be no true, 
scientific and intelligent astronomy taught until 
there is a revolution of the basis on which it is 
taught, for all scientific teachings must be based on 
the true laws of creation, as they can be seen, and 
not on man's imaginary teachings. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 63 

CHAPTER XVII 

SCIENCE OF PSYCHOLOGY 

Psychology: What is it? What relation does it 
bear to life? Is it a part of life, or is it life itself? 

Psychology, or the mind, is the science of mental 
life; or, in other words, psychology is the active 
function of life that was created with the creators, 
life and motion, therefore it is that part of life 
without which no organic life could exist; for life 
and motion is the living soul of each element, organ 
or body, of all that is created. The soul, therefore, 
is life and motion of the same elements as that of 
the creators, for with the creation of each new life 
there are created new creators, who are created with 
that life, so that the creators propagate and 
multiply as does all life. The idea that no life 
created except human life has a soul, is absurd, as 
no life can exist without a soul in its sphere of life. 
The smallest vegetable growth that can exist, the 
smallest element known to human or animal life, 
and the smallest organ of the body, each has a soul, 
for it has a function of life in its sphere of life. No 
life can exist without an active function of life, 
which is the soul of that life, it being the concentra- 
tion of the functions of the soul of each creation, 
or organ, of any body into the brains of that body, 
which is the center of life, that constitutes the soul 
of that body, just as it is the concentration of the 
soul of each organ of the body into the brains of 
any life, that constitutes organic life, from which is 
created other organic life through the propagation 
of other life of the same species. That there is no 



64 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

God or soul of life is absurd, for there could be no 
creation without a god, as god is a part of the soil 
of life. Neither could there be creations without 
a godhead, for the godhead is the force through 
which life is created. Therefore, god is the female, 
for she is the soil for the production of life, the 
godhead being the male, the force that produces 
life. Therefore, the soul of life constitutes the god 
and the godhead, the creators of all life. 

That there could be a personal god who would 
create life through his own personal gratification 
with all the pains and sorrows of life, is absurd, 
for no single god alone could create any life, except 
as a piece of mechanism. That one god could have 
the monopolistic power in ruling all life forever 
and ever, is equally absurd, for no one power can 
rule anything except through mechanism. Yet we 
are taught these teachings, which have been handed 
down from primitive days, through man's bigoted 
imaginations ; but all things decay and pass away, 
and so will the teachings of a creation by a single 
power, and new teachings will take their place, in 
which it will be taught that life was created by 
creators, a god and a godhead, and that the soul 
of life is the creators of that life, who are offspring 
of the parent creators, who first created life and 
who propagate and multiply as new life is created ; 
and that neither the god nor the godhead of these 
creators could have such monopolistic power in creat- 
ing and ruling life; and that all life is created as 
free agents, with a power of intellect as their guide, 
according to the sphere of life in which they are 
created. 

Such will be the scientific teachings of psychology 
as soon as human life reaches that intellectual 
growth wherein it is capable of breaking away from 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 65 

man's primitive teachings, and following the teach- 
ings of the plain, true laws of creation, in which 
there can be no mistakes in regard to the soul of 
life.

CHAPTER XVIII 

SCIENCE OF VEGETABLE LIFE 

What is vegetable life? Is vegetable life a crea- 
tion, or a product of growth by chance? Has vege- 
table life a soul and active instinct of life, or does 
it exist only through laws of growth? 

Vegetable life is a creation, created by the 
creators, life and motion, through an active law of 
construction, analogous to that of human and animal 
life, and is the first creation or offspring of this 
tree of worlds. It was created through the law of 
fermentation, a law like that of all life, wherein 
are the two opposite powers, one constructive and 
the other destructive, but like all laws of construc- 
tion it first constructs life directly and then destroys 
it indirectly. That is, it constructs life direct from 
inorganic matter, and then destroys it through some 
disease created through the same law, so that it is 
both a law of construction and destruction. 

In the creation of vegetable life, which was first 
created from waste, or inorganic matter thrown off 
in the growth of the earth from a liquid to a solid 
earth, through the law of crystallization, and is the 
first direct offspring or creation from this tree of 
worlds, therefore, it must be endowed with every 
sense of life known to the world, for there is no 
sense or image of life but what would follow the 
offspring or creation of the world, through the law 
of inheritance, without which no life could be 
created in its image, as there would be no law to 
guide the construction of the image of organic life. 
Therefore, vegetable life is in the image of this 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 67 

tree of worlds, not only in construction and in- 
tellect, but in that of creation, for like the creations 
of the world, vegetable life began as unseen life 
through the two forces and grew to that of mature 
life in darkness, and from mature life in light to the 
great vegetable life of the world, just as every ele- 
ment and organ of this tree of worlds grew, all 
through the same creators and laws that created the 
world. Why, then, should not vegetable life be like 
that of the world in all the phenomena of life? That 
the tree is the highest creation of vegetable life and 
the first to be created, or grow, from the earth, 
there are many proofs; the main proof being that 
from the tree comes the highest creation of pro- 
ductive life known to the vegetable world, which 
could not be possible if the tree were not the high- 
est creation of vegetable life ; and to be the highest 
creation it would have to be the first creation, which 
in time grew to the highest development of vege- 
table life. 

That vegetable life has a soul in its sphere of 
life, with an active intellect that embodies every 
phenomenon of life, there is no doubt, as it sleeps 
by night and enjoys life by day. That it enjoys the 
youth and beauty of life and passes to that of aged 
life, there are many proofs ; and that its soul of life 
is the creators and rulers of that life, analogous to 
those of human and animal life, and that it decays 
and passes away, and new creations in a higher 
scale of life take its place, is positive proof that 
vegetable life is the same in life as that of the world 
and all therein, and will receive the same considera- 
tion in its sphere of life in the next life as will those 
of all other creations — for no creation will be 
slighted when it comes to the passing of life. And 
until the scientific and self-thinking world takes up 



68 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

these teachings and places vegetable life in the same 
category of created life as that of the world and all 
therein, there will be but little intellectual knowledge 
in regard to the creation and control of the great 
vegetable kingdom, which stands as a monument 
to the first creation from this tree of worlds in which 
we live. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 69 

CHAPTER XIX 

SCIENCE OF HUMAN LIFE 

What is human life? Why is human life called 
human? Is it different from any other form of 
life? Why should human life receive any more 
consideration than that of any other life, when it 
is endowed with the same phenomena of life as that 
of all other species of life? 

Human life is human only because it is the 
highest creation of created life, created through the 
highest law of construction known to life, as the 
tree of vegetable life is called the tree because it 
is the highest creation of that species of life, and- 
which was created through the law of fermentation, 
the highest law of construction known to that stage 
of the creation of the world, yet it is vegetable and 
always will be. So it is with human life, which 
was created through the law of decomposition, the 
highest law of construction known in the creation 
of life. Human life, therefore, is also human be- 
cause it is the highest creation of animal life, animal 
life being the highest creation of all life. Why, 
then, should human life receive any more considera- 
tion in life than the intellect of the higher laws of 
construction will give it, for laws are creations en- 
dowed with intellect analogous to that of organic 
life. If such were not the case there could be no 
intellectual construction of organic life. 

That human life is human because it is endowed 
with a higher sense of humanity than that of other 
life, and that it will receive greater consideration 
through this humanity than that of other life, is 



70 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

absurd, and is believed only through man's absurd 
teachings of the creation of human life through 
mechanism. That human life is capable of the high- 
est scale of humanity there is no doubt, as human 
life is endowed with the highest scale of intellectual 
life. Yet human life is just as capable of the highest 
scale of inhumanity as it is of humanity. This is 
shown in our wars, and in our laws of customs and 
habits — so-called human — yet they are as vicious 
in their tyranny as those of other lower species 
of life. Why, then, this great consideration for 
human life, so claimed by man's primitive teachings, 
when they are so contrary to the great, true laws 
of creation ; not but that there will be great con- 
sideration in the next life for both human and non- 
human life, but it will be through the true laws of 
creation in which there will be no prejudice or 
favoritism, which would be the case were human, 
or any other life, dominated by a single power as 
taught. Why, then, are we not taught that human 
life is no different from any other life, except in the 
scale of creation and intellect, and that the con- 
sideration of life lies within ourselves in both this 
and other lives we may live, and that this considera- 
tion is through the great intellectual laws of crea- 
tion in which there can be no changing of life 
through intermediaries or single powers, but must 
be through the true laws of creation as taught by 
the creators of all life. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 71 

CHAPTER XX 

SCIENCE OF ANIMAL LIFE 

What is animal life? Why is animal life called 
animal life? What relation does animal life bear to 
human life? 

Animal life is a creation, through the law of de- 
composition, the same as that of human life, but 
it is created from a lower species of the same in- 
organic matter, and bears the same relation to 
human life that vegetable life bears to the tree, the 
highest creation of vegetable life. Animal life, there- 
fore, was created through the law of decomposition, 
the highest law of construction known to life, just 
the same as was human life, and is analogous in 
every way to human life, for it is endowed with 
every organ, sense and function of life known to 
human life, but in a lower scale of life. This is 
shown by the fact that there cannot be one trait 
or characteristic pointed out in animal life but that 
its analogy can be found in human life. So that 
animal life is human life and human life is animal 
life in their spheres of life, and will receive the 
same consideration in their sphere of life in the 
next life, as they do in this life. Why, then, do 
we in our bigoted life, look upon animal life as a 
dumb and soulless species of life? Why do we 
still cling to such teachings, which originated with 
man in his primitive days when he was but little 
above the intellect of animal life of the present day? 
For animal life, like human life, is growing in 
intellect through the great law of evolution, just 
the same as human life is growing and will continue 
to grow in intellect as long as there is life in any 



72 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

world, for no law of intellectual life can ever stand 
still ; and as life is maintained through laws of in- 
tellect, it would be impossible for any species of 
life to ever stand still in the growth of intellect. 

So it behooves the scientific and self-thinking 
world to take up the science of vegetable, human and 
animal life, and study them, not according to 
man's imaginary teachings, but according to the 
great scientific laws of creation, with a freedom of 
thought due an intelligent scientific world. 






THE TREE OF WORLDS 73 

CHAPTER XXI 

SCIENCE OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 

What are anatomy and physiology? What re- 
lation do they bear to life? Are the teachings of 
anatomy and physiology complete or perfect? Could 
they be when based on mechanism? 

Anatomy and physiology are the foundation of 
organic life, created through organic laws of in- 
tellect by the creators, life and motion, the creators 
of all life. In the teachings of anatomy and physi- 
ology there is so little taught that should be taught, 
and so little taught on strictly scientific anatomical 
and physiological bases according to the laws of 
creation, that it makes the true sciences of anatomy 
and physiology almost obscure, for the teachings 
are on the same basis as those of the creation of 
the world and of human life, which is that of 
mechanism, in place of propagation and growth of 
elements, which grew into the construction of or- 
ganic life, it being through these teachings that 
there is so little taught that should be taught of the 
organic life of anatomy and physiology. 

In anatomy we are taught the different bones and 
muscles of the body with a lot of meaningless names, 
and are taught the different organs of the body, 
as though there were but one of each organ, the 
functions of which were nominal, when in fact, there 
are two or the function of two or more of each 
organ of the body — a female and a male — which 
grow from a seat of growth and which propagate 
and give off secretions from which are created all 
diseases. Take the brains, for instance, the first 
organs of the body to be created through the law of 



74 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

segmentation, and we talk about the brains as 
though there were but a single brain, when in fact 
there are the functions of four brains instead of 
one. There are the cerebrum and cerebellum, the 
large and small brains, both of which grow from 
a root or seat of growth just as does vegetable life. 
Now there are two of each of these brains, the 
female and the male, and while they both grow from 
the same seat of growth, there is the dividing line 
between them which give to the body the functions 
of four brains in place of one. Now each one of 
these brains is an organic growth similar to the 
body, for each brain is composed of different organs 
and membranes, which has a root or seat of growth 
and a function of life peculiar to itself, just the same 
as in the organ from which they grow, each species 
propagating and giving off secretions through this 
propagation, as in that of all life. Take the olivary 
and restiform bodies, organs of the brains in which 
there are two of each, a female and a male, which 
grow from a seat of growth and have a function of 
their own, propagate and give off secretions, just as 
the brains proper do ; which is proof that each organ 
of the body is an organic growth endowed with a 
function of life the same as the body which is 
organic because it is a combination of organic 
organs. What is said of the brains can be said of 
every organ of the body. 

That human life was created from vegetable life 
there is no better proof than a mental picture of 
human anatomy compared with that of vegetable 
life, for are not the arterial and venous systems, 
which carry the blood or life fluids to all parts of 
the body, and the nervous system and bowels or 
alimentary canal, not animal vines that have a seat 
of growth and a function of life just as the vegetable 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 75 

vine that grows from the ground has? In the ali- 
mentary canal, which constitutes the bowels or in- 
testines, in which we are taught that the vermi- 
form appendix, or beginning of the colon or large 
bowel, is the head of the bowels, when in fact it is 
the root or beginning of the bowels, the vermiform 
appendix being as much the root of the bowels 
as that part of the vegetable vine that grows from 
the earth is the root of the vine ; and what a blessing 
that it cannot all be cut off, or what a beautiful 
crop of paralyzed bowels there would be. In the 
anatomy and physiology of the brains and hearts, 
the seat of life and the seat of force, there is a 
perfect analogy, one being the seat of the growth 
of the nervous vine and the other of the circulatory 
vine, one being the seat of growth of a double func- 
tion of nervous life and the other a double function 
of circulatory life, for there are the functions of 
four hearts, as of four brains, there being a venous 
and an arterial heart, two of each, which, in their 
division and growth through the law of segmenta- 
tion, keep pace with each other. In fact, there is not 
one thing that can be pointed out in these two 
organs in which their anatomy and functions of life 
are not similar. So it is with every organ of the 
body as there is not one organ or element composing 
those organs but exists in the two sexes, which 
perform their functions of life similar to the higher 
creations of life. In the sexual organs of both sexes 
there are the same phenomena, it being through this 
that the two sexes are determined as the law of 
segmentation divides the inorganic matter into or- 
ganic life. 

In physiology we talk about the secretions from 
the body as though they flowed from the body as 
does water from the fountain, when in fact the body 



76 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

has nothing to do with them except as a combinator 
of organic life. Each element, organ or membrane 
composing the different organs of the body propa- 
gates and gives off secretions through that propaga- 
tion, which become organic in their functions, as 
they are a combination of secretions from an organic 
organ, and which, on undergoing dissolution, be- 
comes soil for the propagation of all diseases, both 
recurring and non-recurring, each disease being 
peculiar to the organ from which came the organic 
matter. In the creation of disease from this organic 
matter which undergoes dissolution, there is first 
created a propagating ptomaine through the law of 
fermentation and decomposition, which on entering 
the system is the beginning of the creation of all 
diseases, as the ptomaine seeks out the organ from 
which came the organic matter and prepares it as 
soil for the propagation of the disease. Such crea- 
tions being in accord with the true laws of creation 
through propagation and growth, they must be 
scientific, and as no life can be created except 
through propagation and growth, they must be true; 
and until medical science takes up these true laws 
of anatomy and physiology there will be but little 
knowledge, not only of anatomy and physiology, but 
of diseases and their creation. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS W 

CHAPTER XXII 

SCIENCE OF DISEASE 

What of diseases? What are they? Are they the 
product of man's sins, as taught? Could a piece of 
mechanism, created as we are taught human life 
was created, be subjected to diseases through sin? 
Could such things be possible in the light of the 
great laws of creation, as they can be seen? 

Diseases are creations just the same as those of 
vegetable and animal life, and are created from 
waste, or inorganic matter, through the laws of fer- 
mentation and decomposition, just the same as vege- 
table and animal life, and are as much a part of 
life as what health is, there being nothing in life 
but exists either in sickness or health, for there is 
nothing that has life but has sickness as well as 
health. Sickness or disease, therefore, must be as 
much a part of life as is health. They are the two 
opposites seen in all life, one normal and the other 
abnormal; two conditions in which all life exists. 
For while diseases are creations, they are not created 
through germs, as taught, as such would be con- 
trary to every law of creation, therefore would be 
unscientific and impossible. Diseases are created 
through a propagative or productive ptomaine, 
which is created through the laws of fermentation 
and decomposition, from waste or inorganic matter, 
which, on entering the system, prepares the organ 
or parts affected as soil for the propagation of the 
germ — the germ being secondary or the product of 
the ptomaine, and incapable of creating any disease, 
but capable of propagating in soil peculiar to their 



78 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

propagation. No ptomaine created from the secre- 
tions of an organ can create a disease in any other 
organ, for each organ has a function of life within 
itself. The ptomaine, therefore, created from one 
organ must create a disease peculiar to the func- 
tions of that organ ; this being a law of creation 
that cannot be disputed. 

In the creation of diseases there are two classes 
created through the two laws of construction that 
created both vegetable and animal life. One is re- 
curring and the other non-recurring; one is created 
through the law of fermentation and the other 
through the law of decomposition. All non-recur- 
ring diseases, such as scarlet fever, measles, whoop- 
ing cough, smallpox, etc., are created through the 
law of fermentation from waste or inorganic matter 
arising from the skin. Now, it is a well-known 
fact that the skin, or hide, of human or animal life, 
will not undergo decomposition. If such were the 
case, there could be no leather; neither will the 
secretions therefrom undergo decomposition, but 
they will undergo fermentation, from which is 
created a propagative or productive ptomaine which, 
on entering the skin, prepares it as soil for the 
propagation of the disease, which is manifested by 
an animal spore, there being no germ connected with 
any non-recurring disease. 

But when it comes to recurring diseases, such as 
fevers, pneumonia, diphtheria, and all recurring dis- 
eases, there is a higher law of creation to deal with — 
the law of decomposition, through which human and 
animal life were first created. In the creation of 
diseases through the law of decomposition, there is 
first created from the secretions or waste from the 
organs, or part, aflfected, a propagative or productive 
ptomaine which, on entering the system, prepares 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 79 

the organ or part from which came the secretion as 
soil for the propagation of the disease, which is 
manifested by a germ, which is the product of the 
ptomaine ; therefore is secondary and incapable of 
creating any disease, but it is capable of propa- 
gation in soil peculiar to its propagation. In proof 
of this, it is well known in medical science that 
there is a substance, so-called ptomaine, that de- 
stroys life. If there is a ptomaine that will destroy 
life, there undoubtedly must be a ptomaine created 
through the same laws that will produce or create 
life. Not only in this law is there proof, but take 
the vegetable seed and as long as it is kept dry 
it will stay normal, but as soon as planted in the 
soil, where moisture will cause fermentation to take 
place, there is created in that seed a propagating 
or productive ptomaine that prepares it as soil for 
the propagation of the vegetable growth, wherein 
human and animal life, which is created through 
a higher law of creation than that of vegetable life, 
the two germs, which are secretions from the fe- 
male and male sexual organs, come together, there 
is propagation through which there is created a 
secretion which, on becoming inorganic matter, un- 
dergoes decomposition, through which there is 
created a propagative ptomaine that prepares the 
uterus or membranes of that organ as soil for the 
propagation and growth of the foetus. Now these 
facts are not only in accord with nature's laws of 
creation, but can be verified through observation, 
as there is no law of creation but what can be veri- 
fied through microscopical observation, if the true 
laws of creation are followed. 

That diseases are a part of life, and are created 
through the same laws that created vegetable and 
animal life, there is proof in the disease, so-called 



80 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

tuberculosis, which is a disease of decomposition, 
created through the same law of decomposition that 
first created human and animal life. It is the first 
disease that ever affected human life, and is a dis- 
ease that begins in the venous blood, which gives 
off more waste that becomes inorganic matter than 
any other part of the body. This waste, which be- 
comes inorganic matter, undergoes decomposition, 
through which there is created a propagative 
ptomaine which prepares the blood as soil for the 
propagation of the tubercle, the tubercle being sec- 
ondary, or the product of the ptomaine. The lungs, 
being organs through which the venous blood is 
purified, act as a filter for the impurities of the 
blood, and become as new soil for the propagation 
of the tubercle, which is only a manifestation of 
the disease and not the cause. Now, tuberculosis 
may be either a primary or secondary disease ; that 
is, it may follow some other disease, such as syphilis 
or scrofula, which often disappears and with it the 
tuberculosis, but it is doubtful whether there are 
many cases of tuberculosis cured under the present 
germ theory, where the disease is primary or the 
first to affect the system ; for there are thousands of 
cases which are treated for tuberculosis where 
syphilis, introduced into the system through vac- 
cination or otherwise, is at the bottom of the whole 
trouble. In syphilis that has been handed down 
from generation to generation, and then passed 
the process of vaccination, there is found a differ- 
ent species of the disease to that of acquired syphilis 
and is a species of the disease not generally recog- 
nized, and is often primary in tuberculosis and other 
diseases, for syphilis is a disease of decomposition 
the same as that of tuberculosis, and is created 
through the decomposition of the secretions of the 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 81 

two sexes, which becomes inorganic matter, from 
which there is created a propagating ptomaine 
which prepares the parts affected as soil for the 
propagation of the disease ; and being from the 
sexual organs of both the female and male it is one 
of the most productive diseases known to medical 
science, and is doing abou* as much harm as tuber- 
culosis, but being a disease of low species and more 
tractable to medical treatment, it is not so fatal as 
that of tuberculosis. But of all the diseases known to 
human life there is more ignorance, deceit and 
hypocrisy connected with it than that of all other 
diseases, simply because it is a disease of sexual 
origin through the abuse of an act, not only of 
pleasure but of nature's demands, made so through 
nature's laws. Yet, through mock-modesty and ig- 
norance, it is allowed to be a disease untamed and 
unchecked, to run rampant among all classes of 
society, where the innocent have to suffer alike 
with the guilty; which is a shame and disgrace to 
the intelligence of human life, and a mark of cow- 
ardice on the part of the profession in not demand- 
ing the restraint of syphilis and other private dis- 
eases, as they should be under the control of the 
Board of Health, the same as tuberculosis and 
other infectious diseases. While not so fatal syphilis 
is causing more suffering in the way of insanity, 
paralysis, and other diseases from being spread 
through vaccination and other ways than tubercu- 
losis is doing; yet, either through ignorance or as 
a disguise, it is all called tuberculosis at the pres- 
ent time ; which should not be, as the truth will be 
known sooner or later, and it is only bringing dis- 
credit to the medical profession. 

In cancer there is found a disease no different 
from any other disease, except that it is a growth 



82 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

similar to any tumorous growth, created like tuber- 
culosis through the law of decomposition from the 
lowest mixed species of inorganic matter thrown off 
by the venous blood, which undergo decomposition 
from whence is created a propagating cancerous 
ptomaine, which prepares the parts affected as soil 
for the propagation of the cancerous growth ; and 
like all creations there are different species of the 
same creation, through different species of the same 
inorganic matter, from which are created different 
species of the propagating ptomaine. This is why 
there are different species of all diseases created 
through the same laws of creation. Cancer, like 
tuberculosis and all other diseases, is not only cur- 
able but preventable through an anti-propagating 
ptomaine product, which nature has provided for 
the cure of every disease known to medical science. 
But there will never be any progress made in the 
curing of disease until the medical profession gets 
away from this ignorant germ theory, which is con- 
trary to every law of creation. 

In pneumonia and many other diseases there is 
the same lack of true knowledge of the etiology of 
the diseases, all due to the unscientific way in which 
the creation of diseases is taught. In pneumonia there 
is but little taught that should be taught, and but 
little taught that is true ; this with the unscientific 
teachings of the germ theory makes it almost a 
fatal disease, as the mortality will show, and which 
would not be so if the etiology of the disease and 
the anatomical function of the organs affected were 
understood as they should be. There is no disease 
known to medical science that requires as broad 
a scientific knowledge, not only of the disease but 
of the organ involved, as that of pneumonia, and 
while the disease is created through a propagating 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 83 

ptomaine from the secretions from the lungs, and 
while it can be destroyed by the anti-ptomaine 
product of a therapeutic origin, as in that of all dis- 
eases, the successful treatment of the disease lies 
in the control of the active functions demanded 
of the lungs, so that the inflammation may be con- 
trolled while the ptomaine, the cause of the dis- 
ease, is being destroyed. 

In the creation of acute diseases, such as fevers, 
diphtheria, measles, whooping cough, etc., they are 
just as often created within the body and clothing 
as they are contracted from exposure to the dis- 
ease — they being created from the inorganic matter 
arising from the secretions of the body through 
certain conditions of atmospheric influence, or at- 
mospheric phenomena, in which this inorganic mat- 
ter undergoes either fermentation or decomposition 
in the body or clothing; thus creating a ptomaine 
that enters the system, preparing the parts affected 
as soil for the propagation of the disease. This is 
shown in epidemics of diseases, where the secretions 
from the human body have accumulated in the at- 
mosphere, and under certain conditions undergo 
decomposition, from whence there is created a 
propagating ptomaine that impregnates the atmo- 
sphere to such an extent that whoever comes in 
contact with it is liable to absorb the poisonous 
ptomaine, thus causing an epidemic of the disease. 
Of this there is proof in the fact that the atmosphere 
is undergoing changes all the time, and that all 
epidemics last a certain period of time and then 
disappear of their own accord; which shows that 
certain conditions of the atmosphere will destroy 
as well as propagate the ptomaine of all diseases. 
Even when ptomaines are propagated in water, it 
is through certain conditions of atmospheric in- 



84 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

fluence that the ptomaine of all life is created. 
These things should all be taught in medical science, 
but medical knowledge grows as everything else 
grows, so that the time is coming when scientific 
medicine will be based, not on man's imaginary 
teachings, but on the true laws of creation accord- 
ing to propagation and growth, for the old pathies 
are decaying and passing away just as does all life, 
either created or phenomenal, and out of this de- 
cay there will be created a school of medicine with 
roots and branches so deep and strong and teach- 
ings so broad and true, that ihere can be nothing 
taught but true scientific medicine, based not on 
a mechanical creation of human life, but on the 
great true laws of creation through propagation 
and growth, where it will be taught that diseases 
are a part of life, created through the same laws that 
created life, and that a propagative ptomaine, 
created through the laws of fermentation and de- 
composition of waste, or inorganic matter, and not 
a germ, is the beginning of the creation of all 
diseases; and that there is created according to 
the law of opposites a drug that will cure every 
disease known to medical science by destroying the 
propagating ptomaine, the cause of all diseases, 
thus making all diseases curable. But until it comes 
to pass that these true scientific laws of creation 
are taught, there will be no scientific solution of 
the creation and control of diseases, which are 
the abnormal part of life.

SCIENCE OF MEDICINE 

What of the science of medicine? What are 
medicines — are they a part of life, or are they 
devised by man? Is the science of medicine, as 
taught, perfect Could it be where there is no 
scientific foundation for what is taught? 

The science of medicine is the art of applying the 
law of opposites for the curing of disease; or, in 
other words, the art of applying the substance of 
one life for the purpose of destroying another life, 
for a disease is a creation similar to all life. Medi- 
cines are a part of life as they are the active ele- 
ments of created life and are endowed with the two 
opposite forces found in all life, that which will 
preserve and that which will destroy life. Medi- 
cines, therefore, are a part of life endowed through 
their creation with a function of life the same as 
that of all life. In the teachings of the science of 
medicine there is so little taught that could be 
scientific that in a few hundred years from now 
fully ninety per cent of all that is taught of medi- 
cine at the present time will be considered about as 
much ignorance as the killing of black cats in the 
days of Hippocrates for the curing of diseases. In 
fact, we are not practicing scientific medicine but 
simply pathy. As the practice of medicine stands 
at the present time there is nothing more than a 
jumble of pathism without any scientific basis 
whatever for what is taught. One pathy, who call 
themselves the dominant pathy, are practicing 
medicine without knowing anything about the cura- 



86 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

tive part of medicine as they have always dealt with 
the destructive part, therefore have lost all faith in 
medicine and have fallen back on surgery, which in 
a few years will be used as sparingly as it is over- 
done at the present time. Another pathy claims to 
cure all diseases by culling the good from the bad 
of all drugs, yet they have no scientific basis for the 
curing of any disease. Still another pathy claims to 
cure diseases through the law of symptomatology 
based on the theory of simila similibus curantur 
(like cures are like cures), or that what will create 
the symptoms of a disease in the well person when 
given in large or medicinal doses, will cure the same 
symptoms in the sick when given in small or poten- 
tized doses, which is not a true construction of the 
law, for symptomatology is a law of creation, a 
law of demonstration, which can be applied to all 
life but is being used by the pathy under a 
misconception or construction of the law. 

In medicine, as in everything in life, there are the 
two opposites. So it is with drugs. There is not a 
drug in the whole materia medica or known to 
medical science, but has the opposite effect when 
given in large, or medicinal doses, to what they 
have when given in small or potentized doses ; one 
is destructive and the other curative. Now the 
law of symptomatology, being a law of demonstra- 
tion, a law that demonstrates both the curative and 
destructive actions of drugs it can be applied to 
everything in life, for there is nothing in life but 
has these two opposites for this reason, it must be 
not only a law of science but a law of creation. 
The practice of medicine, therefore, cannot be 
scientific or intelligent without a thorough knowl- 
edge of this law of demonstration, so-called symp- 
tomatology, which is not only a guide to curative 



is... 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 87 

medicine but also a guide in the diagnosing of 
diseases. So that it is just as essential to practice 
medicine scientifically and intelligently, to under- 
stand both the curative and destructive action of 
drugs and the law of applying them, as it is to 
understand the therapeutic part of diseases, and 
until the medical profession takes up this law of 
demonstration and recognizes both the curative and 
destructive action of drugs according to a scientific 
creation, there will be but little scientific medicine 
taught as it should be. 

In seeking the solution of scientific medicine, as 
in that of all subjects, it makes no difference what 
is taught, teaching it does not make it so. The 
only guide to the true solution of any subject is 
to trace the law relating to that subject backwards 
until there is a scientific solution of the knowledge 
you are seeking, which can always be found in the 
true laws of creation, which cannot be disputed. 
Neither can this law of opposites, for without it no 
life can exist. So that in this law of demonstration, 
so-called symptomatology, there can be found the 
true law of scientific medicine, which no pathy can 
dispute. In the teachings of the medical colleges 
of the present time there is a great hue and cry 
for a higher standard and a longer term of college 
life for the student. Is this really what is needed? 
Is it for a higher education and a longer term that 
this cry is raised, or is it for the benefit of the great 
army of senile and incipient professors with which 
the colleges are loaded, and who must be supported, 
that this cry is raised? But let it be what it may, 
it is not what is needed. Not but that a high stand- 
ard of education is essential in the practice of medi- 
cine, but no student could reach a high standard 
of medical education with the present standard of 
medicine as taught at the present time ; not if they; 



88 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

attended a dozen terms of lectures. It is a higher 
standard of medicine to be taught that is needed, 
and which will have to be before there can be a 
higher standard of medical education for the student 
of medicine. The student of medicine who could 
not learn in three years all that is taught in the 
present standard of medicine had better quit, for he 
will never make a physician. But give him four 
years of high-grade medical teaching and he will 
make a high-grade physician. The time is coming 
when there must be a higher standard of medicine 
taught, for medical students are learning to think 
for themselves, and no student who is capable of 
thinking for himself can help seeing that the present 
standard is not the high standard demanded by 
the growing intellect of the people. For they, too, 
are growing in intellect and can recognize the dif- 
ference between scientific and unscientific treatment 
when they need the aid of a physician. So that the 
medical colleges will sooner or later have to adopt 
a higher standard of medicine, or the medical pro- 
fession will be like that of theology; they will lose 
their prestige, simply because they have not kept 
pace with the teachings of the great, true laws of 
creation, which must be the guide for a greater and 
higher standard in the science of medicine as well 
as in the teachings of all sciences.

CHAPTER XXIV 

SCIENCE OF THERAPEUTIC MEDICINE 

Of the science of therapeutic medicine — what can 
be said? Is the treatment of diseases perfect or in 
accord with the great therapeutic laws of creation? 
Is the basis on which therapeutic medicine is taught 
correct? 

Therapeutic medicine, as taught at the present 
time, is unscientific in the extreme, and is dominated 
by commercialism and ignorance. In fact, the whole 
therapeutic part of medicine has become one of the 
greatest trusts in the world, which is dominated by 
a few whose wealth, not knowledge, has given them 
their position and influence in the medical pro- 
fession. Think of the great medical profession, the 
most honored and influential profession in the 
world, being dominated by a few so-called pharma- 
ceutical chemical corporations, who manufacture 
mixed dope and hand it out to the profession as 
though physicians were a lot of ignorant under- 
studies who are incapable of practicing medicine 
without their aid. Yet this is called scientific medi- 
cine and endorsed by the medical profession. What 
better are their mixed medicines than patent medi- 
cines? In many of them the full formula is not 
given, many are manufactured under some secret 
process, and all are sold to the profession to be 
prescribed by supposedly intelligent physicians, 
who prescribe them without any semblance of 
science whatever; yet this is called scientific medi- 
cine, not only by these manufacturing trusts but 
by the medical profession. 



90 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

Not only in the manufacturing of these mixed 
medicines do these trusts show their power and 
the profession their ignorance, but in other ways. 
Take the process of vaccinating for smallpox, and 
the many uses of the antitoxine and serums called 
science by the pathy. Of all the diseases known to 
medical science there are none causing such wide- 
spread destruction of human life and health as the 
curse of vaccination — a so-called scientific treat- 
ment for preventing smallpox, but which does not 
prevent. It only lessens or mitigates the severity 
of the disease. But it is spreading tuberculosis, 
syphilis, cancer, insanity and every disease known 
to medical science broadcast over the whole world. 
Thousands are dying every year, and many more 
thousands are living lives of misery through the 
poison of some disease that has been introduced 
into the system through vaccine virus. Tuberculosis, 
cancer and syphilis, which are on the increase, will 
never be controlled until the curses of vaccination 
and antitoxines are removed. All non-recurring 
diseases can be mitigated, but not prevented, 
through vaccination, as all non-recurring diseases 
are created through the law of fermentation, in 
which the construction of organic life is not as com- 
plete as in the diseases created through the law 
of decomposition, through which all recurring dis- 
eases are created. But vaccination is attended with 
such vital danger in transmitting diseases that it 
should not be allowed. Neither should the use 
of toxins and serums be allowed, for they are 
equally as dangerous in transmitting disease from 
one to another as in vaccination. Think of it! 
Every time there is a cry of smallpox, either through 
a real or an imaginary case, the poor little children 
are herded together like a lot of calves to be 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 91 

branded with this vaccine virus, which more than 
likely contains the predisposition to some hidden 
poison w T hich will destroy the health and happiness 
of these children for life. Not only once, but many 
times, must these children be subjected to this 
branding process if they happen to be caught in 
the raid of these herders. Yet the disease is a non- 
recurring disease, for if they have the disease once 
they will never have it again. Why, then, if vac- 
cination is of any account in preventing the dis- 
ease is there this re-vaccination? 

Ignorance and commercialism are at the bottom 
of the whole business; ignorance on the part of 
the profession in not recognizing the therapeutic 
danger of the vaccine virus, and commercialism in 
the way of large dividends to the manufacturers 
of this vaccine poison, and remuneration to the 
many young physicians employed by the boards of 
health and the petty fee to the general practitioner. 
No vaccine virus can be pure. That would be 
impossible as it must originate from the human 
body, and as diseases are a part of life, each life 
must inherit the predisposition to some disease, 
making a pure vaccine virus an impossibility. Even 
if passed through a thousand cases it could not be 
made pure, for once the predisposition to any dis- 
ease is introduced into the system through inherit- 
ance, or otherwise, it is never eradicated. Is it 
any wonder, then, that the ravages from diseases are 
growing, and that so few children are found that 
are healthy? Is it any wonder that our prisons 
and asylums are filling up with insane and vicious 
lives, when the predisposition to all these diseases 
is branded into these young and tender children? 
If the people knew for one moment the one-thous- 
andth part of the damage being done to their pos- 



92 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

terity through this vaccinating and re-vaccinating 
they would rise up as one body and defy the law 
of compulsory vaccination. 

Not only is the curse of vaccination destroying 
the health of the people, but so are the antitoxins 
and serums destroying and undermining the health 
of the people in the same way. They are called 
scientific, but are contrary to every law of creation, 
and all they are good for is to boost the pathy and 
shield the ignorant physicians who will use them, 
and if the patient dies they will throw up their 
hands and say, "I used the antitoxin, the scientific 
treatment laid down by the profession, and what 
more could I do?" when more than likely, the anti- 
toxin helped to kill the patient. It is said that 
anti-diphtheretic toxin has largely reduced the mor- 
tality in diphtheria. Let us see. Children used 
to have both sore throats and diphtheria; now it is 
all diphtheria. Not only that, but all diseases are 
created through a propagating ptomaine, and not 
a germ, as taught, and according to the law of 
opposites nature has provided a drug that will de- 
stroy the ptomaine of every disease known to 
medical science, therefore there is a drug that will 
destroy the diphtheria ptomaine. This drug is one 
of the products of diphtheretic antitoxin used to 
destroy the poison of the toxin and preserve that 
dangerous product after the poison has been de- 
stroyed, it being through this product causing death 
to the diphtheretic ptomaine that the antitoxin has 
been so much more effectual in curing diphtheria 
than other toxins have been in curing other dis- 
eases. If this product, used to destroy the poison 
and preserve the diphtheretic toxin, was injected 
into the tonsils, it would cure more cases than the 
antitoxin does and would kill none. At the same 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 93 

time, it would not introduce into the system any 
human or animal poison that might be lurking in 
the antitoxin. These antitoxins, therefore, are the 
greatest impositions ever palmed off on the medi- 
cal profession, for they are contrary to every scien- 
tific law of therapeutic medicine, and in a few years 
they will be passed to the grave of ignorance as 
a pathy product that has been tried and found 
wanting, for there is no such product as a toxin — 
the word has no place in medical science. What 
is called a toxin is in reality a propagating or pro- 
ductive ptomaine, the beginning of the creation of 
all diseases, and every time this product is intro- 
duced into the system it inoculates that system with 
the predisposition to some disease that will sooner 
or later develop into a destructive disease. So that 
the so-called toxins and serums, which are only 
propagating ptomaine, are as great a curse to human 
life as the vaccine virus is, as they are destroying 
thousands of both human and animal lives every 
year, for every human or animal that is inoculated 
with toxins, serums or tuberculin, is inoculated with 
a propagating ptomaine that will create the disease 
in course of time, for all toxins and tuberculin must 
originate from inorganic matter, from whence is 
created all propagating ptomaines. 

In the function of the germ there is found no 
danger, as we live on germs. You may take the 
germs of any disease and wash them clean of all 
ptomaine or inorganic matter, and you can eat them 
and they will not create any disease. Yet the 
smallest portion of any ptomaine that can be intro- 
duced into the system will sooner or later create 
the disease. Thousands of human lives are sacri- 
ficed every year through such diseases being intro- 
duced into the system through these toxins and 



94 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

serums, and thousands are living lives of misery 
through the same cause. Thousands of animals are 
destroyed through the test for tuberculosis, which is 
not a test but is an inoculation. The febrile dis- 
turbance following the introduction of tuberculin 
is not proof that the animal has tuberculosis, but 
is proof that the animal has been inoculated with 
the disease through a propagating ptomaine, the 
so-called tuberculin. The same thing occurs in 
human life. Wherever tuberculin is introduced into 
the human body, that body is simply inoculated 
with tuberculosis ptomaine that may lie dormant 
for an indefinite period of time, but sooner of later 
will develop into the disease. Tuberculosis of 
human and animal life are analogous, but are a 
different species of the same disease. They are 
both created in the venous blood, but the venous 
blood of human and animal life is of different con- 
stituents, therefore, the inorganic matter thrown off 
from the venous blood of human and animal life, 
while of different constituents, are of the same 
species. The diseases, therefore, arising from each, 
would be peculiar to themselves, one human and the 
other animal, one of a higher species than the 
other. Now, while this disease, like all other human 
and animal diseases, might be transmitted from one 
to another through the tuberculous ptomaine, it is 
rarely ever the case, as both human and animal 
life resists the poison peculiar to the other. 

To talk about forever eradicating tuberculosis 
or any disease through toxins or vaccine, is absurd, 
for the laws that created life created diseases and 
always will. Of this there is proof in the fact 
that all diseases are first created either in the body 
or from the secretions from the body, through the 
same laws that created the body. These laws will 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 95 

always be the same, and until there is a law pro- 
hibiting the use of these toxins and serums and 
vaccine virus, there will be no abatement of any 
disease, but a gradual increase, until in a few hun- 
dred years from now the world will be a world of 
invalids — a world of tuberculous and syphilitic peo- 
ple, degraded to the lowest depths of a diseased life. 
Our asylums and prisons will increase and life will be- 
come so short that it will hardly be worth living, 
and all through the false teaching of the great medi- 
cal profession under the guise of science. 

There should be no mixing of drugs by chemists 
for miscellaneous prescribing, not but that it is 
proper to mix drugs in treating diseases, but no 
chemist can mix drugs that can be prescribed scien- 
tifically or intelligently for any disease, for there 
are no two constitutions alike, and no two species 
of the same disease can be treated with the same 
combination of drugs; so that no physician can 
prescribe scientifically or intelligently for any dis- 
ease with these mixed medicines. All drugs should 
be manufactured separate and in their purity, ex- 
cept in organic chemistry. There should be a stand- 
ard of purity for each drug and no crude or mixed 
pharmaceutically prepared drugs should be used in 
treating disease. Nature, in her wisdom, according 
to scientific therapeutic laws, has created a drug 
that will destroy the propagating ptomaine of each 
disease known to medical science. Of this there is 
proof in the law of opposites, which can be demon- 
strated by taking a pail of water of any color that 
you wish to destroy, and you may add a great quan- 
tity of drugs that are not destructive to that color, 
and you will not destroy it; yet you may add a 
drug that is destructive to that color, and a drop 
or two will destroy it. So it is in destroying the 



96 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

propagating ptomaine of any disease. Where a drug 
is used that is detrimental to the ptomaine it takes 
so little to destroy it that it does not disturb the 
functions of the active organs of the body. Why, 
then, use these crude and mixed drugs that are so 
repulsive to the sick and suffering, and so unscien- 
tific for the great medical profession to be using?

CHAPTER XXV 

SCIENCE OF SURGERY 

What is surgery? Is surgery a science, or merely 
a branch of the science of medicine? 

Surgery is a science of operative medicine, made 
so through the art of repairing that whch has been 
damaged in the human body, and while a branch of 
medicine, it would be of but little use without the 
aid of therapeutic medicine. While there has been 
great progress made in the science of surgery in 
the last ten or twenty years, yet that advance has 
been at the sacrifice of curative medicine, for the 
curative part of medicine has been lost sight of and 
the abuse of this advance in the science of surgery 
is becoming a curse to human life in place of a 
blessing. Think of the great surgeons of this en- 
lightened day removing the end of the tonsil and 
the vermiform appendix for the curing of diseases, 
when they acknowledge that they do not know 
the functions of those organs. The idea that the 
tonsils and vermiform appendix have no function 
in the life of the body is absurd. Why did nature 
put them there if they have no function of life? 
How do they grow if they have no seat of growth 
and function of life like that of every organ in the 
body? How could they be subject to disease if 
they have no function of life? 

Both the tonsils and appendix are organs of great 
importance in the life of the body, and to attempt 
to remove them is nothing short of a crime against 
those organs. The function of the tonsils is that 
of protectors that stand as sentinels in protecting 
the lungs against all diseases, and they should 



98 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

not be removed. In fact, it is an impossibility to 
remove all of the tonsils, as they have roots or 
a seat of growth the same as every organ of the 
body, so that, as it is impossible to remove these 
roots, it therefore is impossible to cure any dis- 
ease by removing a part of the tonsils, which is all 
that can be done. But it does remove that part of 
the organ which stands as a sentinel in guarding 
the lungs from infectious diseases. The tonsils, 
being exposed as they are in protecting the lungs, 
are subject to many diseases, but there is no disease 
that affects these organs but can be cured, as they 
are easy of access, so that all diseases affecting 
them can easily be cured. In the vermiform ap- 
pendix there is found an organ, the function of 
which is the root of the alimentary canal or bowels, 
just as that part of the tree which is in the ground is 
the root of the tree, and in cutting off the appendix 
it is like cutting off the tonsils; it is impossible 
to cut off the root or seat of growth of the appendix. 
If it could be entirely removed it would completely 
paralyze the bowels, for it is through the appendix 
that the bowels are nourished. Cutting off the end 
of the appendix is like digging down and cutting off 
the end of the root of a tree. You can cut off the 
end of the root of a tree, yet that tree will not die, 
as the roots or branches above the amputation 
will sustain the life of the tree ; so it is with the 
vermiform appendix. The branches connected with 
the root of the appendix and bowels will keep the 
bowels alive, yet they will never be as strong as 
before the operation. The appendix is seldom ever 
subject to any disease except inflammation, and 
therefore it is not a disease requiring surgical inter- 
ference except when there is the formation of pus 
through this inflammation, which can easily be de- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 99 

tected. Then, only, is surgical interference needed. 
The appendix, being the root or beginning of the 
bowels, it gives off a secretion through the bowels 
the same as every organ of the body, from which 
is created a propagating ptomaine that prepares it 
as soil for the propagation of the inflammation, 
which, if not properly treated, is liable to cause 
the formation of pus, but there are drugs that have 
special effect on this organ the same as any organ 
in the body, and if properly used, there is not one 
case out of a hundred where an operation is needed ; 
there being more cases that die, ten to one, from 
unncessary operations than would die from the dis- 
ease properly treated. No person operated on for 
appendicitis is the same afterwards. They may 
seem hearty, but their vitality and energy is forever 
impaired, and if they live to threescore years, then 
they will be years prematurely aged. Thus it is 
that the abuse of the advance in the science of 
surgery is proving a curse to human life, instead of 
a blessing; for in all branches of surgery there is 
found this same abuse, not perhaps to the same ex- 
tent as in that of removing the tonsils and appendix, 
but there are thousands of operations that are un- 
called for and thousands that do more harm than 
good, for surgery cures no disease. But why this 
abuse of advanced surgery in this enlightened day? 
Why has it taken the place of curative medicine, 
when the science of medicine should have kept 
pace with that of surgery? 

The solution can be found in the domination of 
the pathys, who know nothing of the curative part 
of medicine nor the law of opposites, coupled with 
the ignorant germ theory, which has so blighted 
the true science of medicine that surgery has largely 
taken its place. But through that great law of crea- 



100 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

tion, that law of reverses that rights all things, both 
the domination of pathys and the germ theory will 
decay and pass away, and in their place will come 
the freedom of true medical science with true scien- 
tific knowledge of the creation of all diseases, and 
with this knowledge it will be taught that through 
the law of opposites there has been created a drug 
that will destroy the ptomaine of every disease 
known to medical science, and all that will be re- 
quired to cure any disease or growth, will be to 
inject into the seat of the disease or growth a 
therapeutic anti-ptomaine product that will not only 
destroy the cause of the disease, but remove the 
effects at the same time. So that with this advance 
science of medicine surgery will take its place in 
the advanced science of the great medical world, 
which will be to repair that which has been dam- 
aged beyond the repair of true scientific medicine.

CHAPTER XXVI 

SCIENCE OF ELECTRICITY 

What is electricity? What relation does it bear 
to science and to life? 

Electricity is both a science and a part of life, it 
being a science because it is capable of being a 
commercial product ; and a part of life, because 
it is the vibratory element of the motion of life; 
therefore, it is both a science and a part of life. No 
life could exist without electricity, from the fact 
that no life could have motion without this vibra- 
tory element, and no life can exist without the 
creating element of motion. Even the motion of 
the atmosphere is controlled by this vibratory ele- 
ment, which can be utilized in the commercial 
world in so many ways. 

Like all life it exists in the two opposite sexes, 
therefore has two opposite forces, the positive and 
the negative. When used as a medical agent, one 
is curative and the other destructive. Electricity, 
as a medical agent, is a nerve and muscular stimu- 
lus, nothing more nor less — just as whiskey is to 
every organ of the body. It supplies to the nerves 
and muscular system that vibratory power so badly 
needed when the body reaches a low state of vitality, 
just as the system needs a stimulus when it reaches 
that same ebb of vital force. This is the full scope 
of electricity when used as a medical agent. But 
in the commercial world it has a larger scope of 
usefulness. In fact, there is hardly any limit to its 
usefulness, and it would be further advanced in 
commercial use were its functions as an agent bet- 



102 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

ter understood. But, as we have said before, in- 
tellect grows as all life grows, therefore, and 
through this growth of intellect the time will come 
when electricity will be proven one of the greatest 
elements known to commercial life; for, being an 
element that no life could exist without, it must be 
an agent of superior power, not only in created life 
but also in phenomenal life. For the same laws and 
the same elements that rule created life rule phe- 
nomenal life. This can be proven to any person 
capable of following the great laws of creation as 
they can be seen in their growing power of both 
species of life. To this end the great scientific 
world must turn its attention before there can be 
any substantial progress made in true scientific 
knowledge, not only of the power of electricity in 
life, but also in phenomenal or commercial life.

CHAPTER XXVII 

SCIENCE OF PSYCHOTHERAPEUTICS 

Psychotherapeutics — what is it? What does it 
represent? Is it a law or a species of a law? 

Psychotherapeutics is a species of the law of 
hypnotism, one of the greatest laws known to life, 
yet one of the least understood of all laws because 
it is like all life and all laws, it exists in the two 
opposites, the good and the bad; the bad having 
been developed to a certain extent and the good 
undeveloped, has brought the law into bad repute 
and prevented the good from being developed. 
Hypnotism is the influence one mind has over the 
function of another mind, for, the mind being like 
every organ of the body, there is the mind proper 
and the function of the mind, just as there is the 
organ proper and the function of that organ. So 
that, properly speaking, hypnotism is the influence 
one life has over the function of another life. All 
life is endowed with the power of hypnotism even 
to the smallest life that can exist. Vegetable life 
has this power the same as animal life. Animal 
life knows more of this law than human life does, 
as they know it through instinct. All power or 
control one life has over another is through this 
great law of hypnotism, all petition and supplica- 
tion, even to the efficacy of prayer, is through this / 
law of hypnotism. All miracles were performed 
through the power of hypnotism. The dead from 
hypnotic sleep were raised ; the sick were healed ; 
the lame made to walk, just as they are at the pres- 
ent day. All influence that was wielded through 



104 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

superstition was through this great law of hypno- 
tism in which psychotherapeutics and auto-sugges- 
tion are the highest and most effective of all the 
different species of this law. 

That psychotherapeutics has great effect in treat- 
ing of disease and controlling the weak and vicious 
minds, there is no doubt, not that it has any effect 
on the disease or mind proper, but it does have great 
effect when applied to the functions of either the 
disease or mind, and if the function of the disease 
or mind can be controlled through the power of 
psychotherapeutics the disease or mind proper can 
readily be controlled by medical treatment applied 
according to the law of demonstrative, so-called, 
symptomatology. In no disease is this so plainly 
demonstrated as in the treatment of insanity, a 
disease that is but little understood, and is therefore 
so badly treated; it being through this that two- 
thirds of the asylums stand as monuments of igno- 
rance to the medical profession in teaching and 
treating insanity as it is taught. The two great organs 
of the body are the brains and hearts, one the 
seat of life and the other the seat of force ; and while 
the functions of these organs are different they are 
analogous, inasmuch as neither the organs nor the 
functions of these two organs could exist one with- 
out the other. Therefore, both the organs and their 
functions must be susceptible to diseases that are 
analogous, or alike. 

In diseases of the hearts there are both organic 
and functional disease, with different species of 
each disease created from different causes ; there- 
fore, one species is curable by removing the cause 
and the other is incurable because the cause can- 
not be removed. Now, in diseases of the brains, 
there are the same phenomena of these diseases 
created through the same causes as in that of the 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 105 

hearts. One is curable by removing the cause and 
the other is incurable because the cause cannot be 
removed. Now, all functional disease of the hearts, 
such as palpitation, is curable by removing the 
cause. So all functional disease of the brains, 
which is the cause of functional insanity, can be 
removed as it is a reflex through the nervous sys- 
tem. Therefore, insanity should be taught simply 
as organic and functional, and all functional in- 
sanity should be cured through psychotherapeutic 
treatment to the function of the disease, and proper 
medical treatment to remove the cause. Two-thirds 
of the people in the asylums are suffering with 
functional insanity and would not be there if in- 
sanity was taught and treated in this way. There 
is no such species of insanity as paranoea. The 
word was used in olden times to designate incurable 
insanity from that of curable, but the word has no 
meaning when applied to insanity. In fact, it is 
a word without any definite meaning whatever. 
Such terms as dementia can only be applied to cer- 
tain species of idiocy and should not be used in 
connection with insanity. 

Not only in the treatment of insanity and other 
diseases is this great law of psychotherapeutics 
valuable, but in curing children and criminals of 
their vicious habits. If children were brought up 
under the influence of this great law in place of 
that brutal moral law, "Spare not the rod," which 
has made criminal and ruined thousands of children, 
there would be but few vicious and worthless lives 
compared to what there are. In place of asylums 
with brutal attendants, and great prisons with 
brutal treatment, which only hardens, in place of 
subduing the criminal, there would be institutions 
of mercy where the insane would be controlled, not 



106 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

by brute force but through this great law of nature, 
psychotherapeutics. 

The same would be the case with the criminal. 
Ninety per cent of all criminals could be cured 
through this law, especially among the young, as 
there is the curable and the incurable criminal, just 
as there is the curable and the incurable insanity, 
one being from some malformation or disease and 
the other from some functional cause that can be 
removed. But it is of no use to call a spade a 
shovel, nor a shovel a spade, when a shovel is a 
shovel and a spade a spade. It makes no difference 
what species of the law is used or how applied, 
whether through the flavor of Christian Science, psy- 
chotherapeutic religion, or as a plain law of healing. 
It is hypnotism pure and simple. A law like all life 
wherein there are different species, with the two 
opposite influences that can be wielded with a 
mighty power for either good or bad. Yet, again, 
like all life, the good has a greater power in over- 
coming the bad than the bad has in overcoming the 
good, and there will never be any intelligent solu- 
tion of the controlling of insane, vicious life until 
we become intelligent enough to cull the good from 
the bad of this great law of hypnotism, and use it 
with the intelligence due a truly civilized and edu- 
cated people for the furtherance of a truly scientific 
and humane life.

CHAPTER XXVIII 

SCIENCE OF SOCIOLOGY 

What is sociology? Is it a science, or a part of 
life? Sociology is both a science and a part of life. 
It is a science because it is a combination of the 
different dispositions and habits of life, and a part 
of life because these different dispositions and habits 
of life were created with life, and are the basis of 
social life and are either inherited or acquired 
through the environment of the different species of 
social life. In sociology there is found that which 
is found in all life, namely, the two opposites found 
in everything that is created, it being through a 
lack of the knowledge of this law in our teachings 
that our social life is in such a state of chaotic 
turmoil. For through our ignorant laws and teach- 
ings we are trying to harmonize all dispositions 
into one morbid life, which would be contrary to the 
laws that govern all creations. In the different dis- 
positions of life, of which there are different species, 
the two most prominent are the cheerful, happy 
disposition, that is endowed with all the senses of 
the freedom and pleasures of life, and the other, 
the morbid, pessimistic life that is devoid of these 
same senses of the freedom and pleasures of life. 
They are the two opposites, one normal, because it 
is a perfect product of the laws of creation, and 
the other abnormal, because it is an imperfect prod- 
uct of the same laws. Now in all species of social 
life, in fact, in all life, these morbid, pessimistic 
dispositions are causing more strife and unhappi- 
ness than all other causes; for with their morbid, 



108 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

unnatural teachings they are trying to divert the 
natural life, taught us through the teachings of the 
great, perfect laws of creation, into a morbid life 
due to an abnormal creation. Of all the social pleas- 
ures of life there are none but can be found in them 
that which will lead to both good and bad, but it 
should be taught that all pleasures of life can be 
enjoyed without sin or evil until the evil is chosen 
in place of the good. When the evil is chosen they 
then become irresponsible persons, incapable of 
choosing the good from the bad, or incapable of ex- 
erting their will power to choose the good in place 
of the bad. 

In the social life of woman and man there should 
be no distinction. They should both have the same 
standing in social life. While motherhood is the 
natural sphere of woman she should be educated 
in social life equally with man, and should enjoy 
every privilege in life the same as man ; for they 
are the soil of intellectual life and if they are not 
educated equally with man there can be no in- 
tellectual product from that soil. The same can be 
said of man, the force of that product. So that 
if both the woman and man are of high social in- 
tellect, they will bring forth a high-grade product; 
just as if you plant vegetable life in poor soil you 
may expect a poor quality of the product, it makes 
no difference how good the seed had been. At the 
same time you may plant poor seed in good soil and 
you will have a poor product, but if you have both 
good soil and good seed, there will be a good prod- 
uct. So it is with human life. The mother should 
be educated, not only in social life but in all phases 
of life equally with man, and should have the same 
study in all customs of life with man. 

Of the great social evils that confront social life, 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 109 

how many of them are due to the unnatural and 
ignorant laws and customs of our boasted civiliza- 
tion. Take, for instance, the great evil of prosti- 
tution and go to the bottom if it, and what will you 
find? In the first place could a mother bring forth 
a perfectly normal child and be both a mother and 
mistress during gestation, when the child in utero 
is subject to impressions through the nervous ex- 
citements of the mother? Should a wife live with 
her husband during gestation? These are broad 
questions. Nevertheless, they are true and should 
be dealt with on a broad basis and according to the 
great, true laws of creation, regardless of what 
is taught by human laws. You may take every 
prostitute and degenerate and trace back their lives 
and you will trace back their unnatural desires to 
the surroundings of the mother while undergoing 
the natural life of mother's gestation. 

Take the great temperance question, of which 
there is more absurd ignorance written than of all 
other subjects, and where does the trouble lie? It 
all lies in the morbid teachings of this morbid pessi- 
mistic element of social life. In the first place, 
alcohol is a natural product of life, a stimulus, 
nothing more or less, and the only natural stimulus 
known to life. But like all drugs, for a drug it is, 
it has a double action — one destructive and the 
other curative, and is like arsenic, strychnia, 
morphia and many of the best drugs known to 
medical science, for when taken in large doses they 
destroy life and when taken in small doses their 
medical properties are great. So it is with alcoholic 
liquors. When abused they destroy life and when 
used in small quantities their curative powers, as 
a stimulus, are great. So is their power as an in- 
direct tonic, which is in this way: While alcoholic 



110 THE TREE OF WORLDS 






stimulants are natural stimulants to every organ 
of the body, they also stimulate the villi or absorb- 
ents of the intestines, enabling these villi or absorb- 
ents to take up more of the chyle or intestinal fluids 
arising from the digested food, which are carried 
into the glands of the blood channels, thus increas- 
ing the amount of healthy blood of the body; it 
being this action of this great drug that makes 
it so valuable in treating diseases when used scien- 
tifically the same as any other drug. 

But what of the social abuse of this drug? What 
will regulate it? Will the narrow pessimistic teach- 
ing that is keeping up this temperance agitation re- 
move it? Will the morbid element infused into this 
agitation remove it? Broad scientific teachings in 
place of these narrow pessimistic teachings, with 
intelligent laws for the manufacture and sale of 
this drug, is the only way in which it can be con- 
trolled, for the two elements that are fighting over 
it will never be reconciled. Therefore, it will rest 
with the broad-minded, self-thinking people to take 
hold and regulate and place it on a scientific basis 
as a medical product, before the abuse of it is con- 
trolled. To do without alcoholic stimulants for 
medical purposes would be impossible. If you have 
a tree or plant growing in poor soil, how quickly 
you will apply to that soil fertilizing products ! 
What are they but stimulants? And if you apply 
too much you will destroy that tree or plant, but 
if used moderately what great benefit will be de- 
rived from their use. So it is with a stimulus in 
human life. That it will always be abused to a 
certain extent there is no doubt, for what will you 
find that is not abused? Even the foods we eat 
are abused in their use, so that the only way to 
control this social evil is to first regulate the manu- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 111 

facture of it by the government furnishing a for- 
mula for the manufacture of pure whiskies, wines 
and beers, with a law that will remove the license 
of any person who is found adulterating them. 
Then do away with the old-fashioned saloon and 
bar. They have had their day, and if there are 
saloons at all, let them be similar to the restaurant 
without bars and under the same regulations as 
restaurants. With these regulations, minus the 
temperance agitation, there will be but little abuse 
of this social evil. 

But the greatest thing needed in regard to this 
social evil is intelligent and scientific teachings so 
that children, as they grow up, will become self- 
responsible as to this and all other evils. To make 
a child self-responsible and self-determined it must 
be taught on a broad scale, so that its will power 
can be cultivated or educated to that degree wherein 
it is capable of resisting the evil influences of social 
life. If a child is taught to touch not, or handle 
not, anything, it makes no difference what, you 
are teaching that child to become an irresponsible 
person, and an irresponsible person is an irrespons- 
ible idiot, as an idiot is an irresponsible person, there 
being different species of idiocy, both inherited and 
acquired, as there are different species of everything 
in life. This is shown in the drunkard, for a drunk- 
ard becomes silly — a regular idiot — incapable of 
controlling his mind. But if drunkards were looked 
upon as such and treated as such, and a guardian 
was appointed over them by the courts as soon as 
they became drunkards, there would be but few 
drunkards, for the disgrace would be equal to the 
asylum or penitentiary. But as it is, as soon as a 
man becomes a drunkard, these temperance agi- 
tators set up a howl : "Oh, what a smart man he 



112 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

was! What a pity he lets that demon drink get 
away with him." They will begin to worship him 
and blame his condition on that demon drink when, 
in fact, the trouble is all with himself. He is an 
irresponsible person, suffering with a species of 
idiocy which fully develops itself when under the 
influence of liquor. How many professional men 
get a reputation through drink by these temperance 
people sounding the praise of their smartness were 
it not for that demon drink, when, in fact, they are 
not smart, not even bright, but are irresponsible 
persons. Or, in other words, idiots incapable of 
exerting their will power over their abnormal de- 
sires. That these conditions are often acquired 
through these narrow teachings and inherited 
through a predisposition there is no doubt, and the 
sooner there is intelligent teaching in regard to 
the use and abuse of alcoholic liquors the sooner 
that great social curse will be under control. 

In regard to the social evil of wealth, which is 
said to be the root of all evil, there is so little taught 
that is right or in accord with the great, true laws 
of creation, that it is not much wonder that wealth 
is controlled by the narrow, vicious laws that it 
is. Nor is it any wonder that it is the great social 
evil that sways all social life, for more narrow, 
vicious laws than those that govern wealth could 
not be devised. Wealth, like all life, exists in differ- 
ent species, there being the two opposites, the 
extremely rich and the extremely poor, with 
intermediates. This is according to the laws 
of creation, for there is nothing that can ex- 
ist but in it there are found these two extremes 
which, like all life, are constantly undergoing 
changes through that great law of reverses 
that rights all things. The poor are constantly 






. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 113 

growing richer and the rich poorer. This always 
has been the case and always will be, for it is a 
part of life. But let us stop and look at the laws 
governing the social evil of wealth. Are they not 
in accord with man's mechanical laws instead of the 
true laws of creation? Think of the great financial 
world being dominated by a single power, a single 
standard of money. Is this not in accord with 
man's teachings of a one power, mechanical creation 
and control of life, which is contrary to every law 
of creation? Is it any wonder that social life is 
so different to what it would have been had we been 
taught from the beginning of intellect, according 
to the true laws of creation as they are demon- 
strated at the present day? But again, we will say 
that the great laws of time and intellect, with that 
of reverse that rights all things, will sooner or 
later bring to social life the purity and pleasures 
of life on a broad scientific scale, wherein social life 
will be in accord with the great, true laws of 
creation through which all pleasures of life are en- 
joyed.

CHAPTER XXIX 

SCIENCE OF THEOLOGY 

What is theology? What relation does it bear to 
life? Was theology created with life, or was it 
created by man? 

Theology as taught is certain imaginary creeds 
or doctrines — so-called religious teachings — wherein 
human life may be dominated so as to live accord- 
ing to these teachings, that they may enter the next 
world free from the sins of this life, therefore be 
in a higher favor in the life of purity, as taught by 
these creeds and doctrines of man's creation. That 
these creeds and doctrines of theology were created 
by man for man through the power of imagination 
under the guise of inspiration, there is proof in the 
fact that such creeds and doctrines could not be 
created by the laws of creation. Not but that there 
was created, with the laws of creation, a theology; 
for there was in the true laws of creation. But 
human life has not as yet reached that stage of 
intellectual life wherein it is capable of following 
the teachings of the true theology created with life, 
which is void of all creeds and dogmas but lies in 
the teachings of the true laws of creation in which 
there can be no dissenting. What man's theology 
represents no person can deny, as the representation 
is imperative, but what it teaches has no significance 
and in a few hundred years from now will be con- 
sidered as much ignorance as the hell, fire and brim- 
stone of a few years ago ; in fact, man's creeds and 
dogmas will not be known in the next life, nor will 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 115 

the churches of these creeds and doctrines be 
known. It will not even be known whether you 
were a member of these churches or not. Nor will 
the priests or ministers be known as such in the 
next life. No occupation, creed nor doctrine of this 
life will be known in the next life. They will all 
die and pass away with the body, so that the in- 
fluences of the church and man's creeds and doc- 
trines are confined only to this world, where if true 
theology were taught it w r ould become a part of 
life ; that is, the intellectual part of the soul of 
life would receive the benefit of these teachings, as 
they are that part of life through which intellectual 
life is propagated. 

It will be with the passing of life from this to 
the next life as it is in the propagating of life in 
this world. How often do you see the most worth- 
less life found in this world born of seemingly pure, 
upright parents of wealth and position in life? That 
offspring undoubtedly inherited the predisposition 
to that worthless life through one or both of those 
parents. How often do you see the most honored 
and upright lives born from seemingly humble and 
at the same time worthless parents? That offspring 
undoubtedly inherits that predisposition to that 
honorable and upright life through one or both of 
those parents. So it will be in the passing of life 
from this to the next life. Many who are con- 
sidered honorable and upright in this life will be 
found in a lower scale of life in the next world, and 
many who are looked upon in this world by the 
religious world as not up to the standard of a Chris- 
tian life, will be found in a high scale of life in the 
next world; for it is the purity of the intellectual 
part of the soul of life that will mark the highest 
scale of life in the next world, which can only be 



116 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

judged by that great law of intellect through which 
all life is created. 

The passing of life from this to the next life is 
a new beginning of that life, free from every influ- 
ence of this life, as it is a shedding of the body with 
all the crudeness and influence of that body, so that 
the teachings of the theology of this life should be 
the teachings of the true laws of creation, with all 
the freedom and happiness that these laws afford, 
and free from the formality and bigotry of the pres- 
ent theology. There will always be different de- 
nominations, even when true theology is taught, 
for that is a part of life, but they will not be based 
on man's imaginary inspiration but on the laws that 
govern the creation of all that is created. So that 
in the creeds and doctrines of the present denomina- 
tions there is nothing in common with the science 
of life — or of true theology — not but that they were 
inspired through the law of inspiration, for every- 
thing we do, either good or bad, is inspired through 
the same law. These creeds and dogmas, therefore, 
could only be imaginary inspirations created by 
man for man, and which have retarded the intel- 
lectual growth of the teaching of the true theology 
created with the creation of all life. 

Sin is a part of life. This is proven in the infants, 
who develop both sin and purity before they have 
grown in intellect wherein they are capable of 
knowing anything about either sin or purity; and 
they continue in both even when they have reached 
that stage where they are capable of understanding 
both sin and purity. If sin were not a part of life, 
some children would be void of sin and others of 
purity, but all are born with both sin and purity, 
which is proof that both are part of life, created with 
life as the two opposites found in all creations. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 117 

There is nothing in life but exists either in sin or 
purity; that is, if they are not in sin they are in 
purity and if not in purity they are in sin. They 
may be in sin one day and in purity the next, but 
it is impossible to be in both at the same time, as 
one reverse follows that of another and this could 
be no exception. There is not a sin known to 
human life but it is found in all life according to 
the scale of intellect in which that life exists. In 
both the higher and lower scales of vegetable life 
there is found sin, as in that of human life. So, 
in the new theology to come, which will be that 
created through the true laws of creation, it will 
be taught that the world and all that is created 
were created by creators, a female and a male, a 
god and a godhead, who created all life through the 
intellectual laws of propagation and growth, and 
that both sin and purity were created with life, they 
being the two opposites found in all creations ; and 
that one is the purity and the other the impurity of 
life ; and that sin can only be mitigated or atoned for 
through a higher growth of the purity of intellectual 
life, and that the purity of life can be cultivated on a 
broad scale of life until it will dominate sin, it being 
through the broadness of the teaching of the purity 
of life that sin becomes narrow and repulsive to the 
intellectual life. For in the broadness and freedom 
of all teachings lie the purity and power of those 
teachings. Such will be the teachings of this greater 
and higher theology created not by man, but 
through the true laws of creation, which will give 
to theology that great power and influence for 
which it was created. 



118 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER XXX 

LIFE IN THE NEXT WORLD 

Of life in the next world — what of it? What of 
life after leaving this earthly body and entering 
into the next world? Are there such places as so- 
called heaven and hell, for the pure and impure 
human life? Could there be such places when there 
will be all grades of human life to enter the next 
world, with no human life as yet perfect in purity? 
Would it be possible for human life or any life to 
enter such places for pleasure or punishment for- 
ever and ever? Would it be possible for any law 
of nature to stand still or become dormant, or for 
any life either good or bad to stand still in growth 
or become dormant in life? Such would be im- 
possible, as it would be contrary to every law of 
creation. There are no such places as heaven and 
hell. They are man's imaginary institutions. Every- 
thing that is created has life, and every life has a 
soul. And every soul has a conscience according 
to the scale of life in which it lives, human life being 
the highest intellectually. Heaven or hell is the 
state which the conscience is in, either in this world 
or the next. In the next world, after being shorn 
of the crudeness and influence of this earthly life, 
and viewing the beauties and pleasures of the next 
world, the activity of the conscience as to what 
life has been on earth will be the heaven or hell 
of all intellectual life, so that the brightest heaven 
and the darkest hell of conscience will be in the 
next world. No law of creation can ever stand still 
or become dormant, so that no life, either good or 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 119 

bad, can ever stand still or grow dormant in life. 
They either grow to a higher state of purity or a 
lower state of impurity, until they lose their identity 
as individual lives. Every life is a free agent with 
the purity of nature's great laws as its guide. Every 
intellectual life can repent of a vicious or wicked 
life; not through any intermediary — they have no 
power or influence whatever. A pure thought is a 
prayer, and a prayer is a stimulus of the better 
element to overcome that of the evil, for in this, 
as in all creation, there are the two opposites, the 
good and the bad. The soul being of the same ele- 
ments as those of the creators there is that parental 
sympathy between the two that is found in all 
nature, but no prayer can ever change the scale 
of that life direct so that it would enter the next 
world in a state of purity. That would be impos- 
sible. Life can only grow to that of a higher state 
of purity through nature's great law of higher crea- 
tion, evolution. A vicious and deceitful life places 
that soul in a low scale of life in the next world, 
while all the prayers that could be uttered before 
dissolution or death could not place that soul in any 
higher scale of life in the next world, until it grows 
to a higher scale through the law of evolution. 
Every life is a free agent in the next world as in 
this, for life in the next world is only a continua- 
tion of life in this world, and will enter the next 
world in the same scale of purity or impurity as it 
was in this world. Even in that world where na- 
ture stands forth in all its beauty, some will grow 
to a higher scale of purity, and others to that of a 
lower state of impurity, until they lose their iden- 
tity as individual life. There will be as many souls 
in the higher scale of human life in the next world 
that never more than uttered a thought in prayer, 



120 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

as there will be that served man's creeds all their 
lives, for it is deeds and acts and not prayers that 
mark the higher scale of human life in the next 
world. A humane, honest, happy, cheerful life that 
enjoys the beauties and pleasures of this world will 
mark the highest scale of human life in the next 
world. For the beauties and pleasures of this 
earth which man's tyrannical laws have almost de- 
stroyed, were given us to enjoy as a guide to the 
pleasures of life. Of the next world — where is it, 
and what is it like? Does the soul pass to that of 
another world after so-called death? Would it be 
possible for the soul of life to soar away to some 
distant world after leaving this earthly body? 
Could such teachings be possible? Properly speak- 
ing, the soul of life does not pass to that of another 
world after leaving this earthly body. It simply 
passes back to the body or life of this tree of worlds 
from which it came. The soul being of the same 
elements as that of the creators, and the body being 
an indirect branch of the root of this tree of worlds, 
it could not be otherwise, according to the great 
laws of creation and dissolution, for as dust unto 
dust thy body does return, so life unto life thy 
soul must return. Where, then, is this next world? 
What is it like? Is it a place of beauty or a place 
of homeliness? Is it a place of idleness, where the 
soul can languish in idleness, either in happiness 
or sorrow forever and ever? The next world is 
any place within the body of this tree of worlds, 
even in the organs of the function of life, and is 
both beautiful and homely, for there will be in the 
next world the image and spirit life of all that 
exists in this world. There will be both the beauti- 
ful and homely, just as there is in this world. But, 
being shorn of the crudeness of this earthly body, 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 121 

everything will stand forth in such beauty that even 
the homely will look beautiful to the soul of purity. 
There will be in image the hills and the valleys 
with the soul of life of all that grew from them, 
and which will stand forth in all their beauty of 
spirit life. The flowers will bloom forth in their 
spirit life in such magnificent beauty that it could 
not be described. Even the songs of the birds in 
their spirit life will be so sweet that they will be 
enchanting. So it will be with all creation, for in 
that spirit world there will be found an image and 
spirit life of all that was created in this earthly 
life. So that the enjoyment's and sorrows of every 
human life in the next world will be according to 
the scale of intellectual purity of life of this world. 
There it will be that the greatest enjoyment or 
the highest heaven will be to those in the highest 
scale of intellectual purity of life, while the great- 
est sorrows of the darkest hell will be to those of 
the lowest scale of intellectual impurity of life. 
At the same time, while the brightest heaven or the 
darkest hell will be to those of the higher scale of 
intellectual purity or impurity of life, there will 
be all grades of purity or impurity of human life 
that will enter that spirit world, just as there 
are in this world, whose happiness or sorrows will 
be according to their scale of intellectual purity, 
of life in this world. It could not be otherwise, 
for individual human life, like all creation, can only 
grow to a higher scale of purity through the law 
of evolution, the law of higher creation. It makes 
no difference how great or of what influence in- 
dividual life was on earth, if that life was impure 
at heart, that impure life could not be blotted out 
until it is blotted out through that law of higher 
creation, evolution. So that it makes no difference 



122 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

what position individual life holds in this world, 
their position in the next world will be in accord 
with their purity of intellectual life in this world. 

Again we ask, what of life in the next world, 
the so-called spirit world? Is the life in that spirit 
world a life of idleness, either in pleasure or sor- 
row, forever and ever, as pictured by man's imagina- 
tion? Could it be possible according to the laws 
of creation for the period of life to be extended 
-forever and ever, without growing to that of a 
higher or lower scale of purity or impurity through 
the law of evolution? Could it be possible for the 
soul to be active enough in life to enjoy the pleas- 
ures or sorrows of life in the spirit world, yet be 
inactive as to growth? Or would it be possible for 
this soul, either pure or impure, to lie dormant 
in growth forever and ever under the great law 
of waste and accumulation? For the soul must 
be nourished by absorption from life. How, then, 
would it be possible according to the great law of 
waste and accumulation for the soul to lie dormant 
forever and ever, when the same laws that gov- 
ern life in this world govern the same life in the 
next world? 

How, then, could life be so materially different in 
the next world, as to the growth of life from a 
lower to that of a higher scale of intellectual life, 
from what it is in this world? Life in the next 
world is analogous in every way to what the 
creators had designed life to be in this world, each 
soul enters the next world as in the same scale of 
intellectual life that it was in when it left this 
world; each soul being a life of active growth, 
enters the next world just where it left off life in 
this world. The infant, the middle-aged and the 
aged all begin life in the next world just where 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 123 

they left off in this world. There will be 
no day of judgment; no calling together of 
human life, that they may be judged as to 
their life in this world. Such could not be pos- 
sible, as the great laws of creation will judge every 
soul that passes into the next world by placing 
each soul in the scale of purity or impurity in 
which it belongs ; so that it makes no difference 
how great or how low life has been estimated in 
this world, if that life has been a vicious or deceit- 
ful life, it will be found among that scale of life 
in the next world. Nor will it make any difference 
how famous life has been in this world, for deeds 
and acts of valor; if those deeds and acts of that 
life have not been in accord with the purity of the 
great laws of creation, that soul will be found in 
the next world in the scale of intellectual life of 
purity or impurity in which it was in this world. 
For each soul in the next world will be in the same 
scale of intellectual life as to purity or impurity 
that it was in this world — not intellectually accord- 
ing to the teachings of man, but intellectually in 
the broadest sense of the purity of life, according 
to the great true laws of creation.

CHAPTER XXXI 

TRUE CIVILIZED LIFE 

What would the life of a truly civilized and 
intelligent people be? Would it be the vicious and 
strenuous life which we are living, a life in which 
every law of nature is being violated, a life of 
strife wherein treachery marks every phase of 
human life, a life in which there exists but little 
honesty or integrity? — for dishonesty and chican- 
ery are found in all walks of life. A life of so- 
called teachings, yet a life of ignorance, for we are 
as yet ignorant of the first principles of nature's 
great, broad and true laws of creation. A life where 
man's greed for power has destroyed the true or 
finer instincts of human life. A life where the curse 
of man's tyranny has marred the purity and hap- 
piness of human life from the blackest slavery down 
to that of the marriage vow. A life wherein every 
phase of human life has felt the tyrannical power 
of man's narrow teachings, which had their origin 
in the unnatural assuming power of man. A life of 
a truly civilized and highly intelligent people would 
be the reverse of that which we are living. If we 
were truly civilized and highly intelligent accord- 
ing to nature's laws, there would be no wars ; there 
would be no tyrannical slavery; there would be no 
binding of woman and man together for life ac- 
cording to man's institution of marriage. There 
would be no monopoly of power by man, for there 
is not one creation that can be pointed out wherein 
one element or organ has the monopoly of power 
over the other. Why, then, in human life, should 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 125 

man hold the monopoly of the governing power? 
Why should there be wars? Why should there 
be this tyrannical slavery by man's oppressive laws? 
Why should one nation own or control another? 
Why should one nation go out and destroy another 
nation by force? Why not let the smaller nation 
grow from infancy to maturity, as all creations 
grow? Why should woman be bound to man, or 
man to woman, for life, when it is contrary to 
every known law of nature? What is it but domestic 
slavery? Look at the thousands of children born 
with vicious and criminal habits inherited through 
this unhappy condition of the parents. There is 
no doubt but what two-thirds of criminal life could 
be traced back to this bondage of marriage. Every 
marriage should be legalized according to a con- 
tract or agreement wherein the woman and man 
should live together as wife and husband as long 
as they could live together happily. If such were 
the case there would not be one divorce where there 
are fifty now, for, as woman is growing in intelli- 
gence, she soon awakens after marriage to the fact 
that her husband considers her his property, and 
that she is practically bound in slavery for life. 
From these thoughts, which will steal into her mind 
after matrimonial experience, life becomes irksome, 
and unhappiness is sure to follow. Where if both 
the wife and husband knew that they could be 
freed, through unhappiness, at any time, that it 
depended upon the love and attention one could 
give to the other, there would be but little unhap- 
piness, and but few divorces to what there are. 

But why has man this monopolistic power when 
it is so contrary to every law of creation? Is it 
because man is more intelligent than woman, or 
because he has greater power than that of woman? 



126 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

Man has this monopolistic power simply because 
he stole it, and has maintained it through his 
dominant creeds, which are the basis of man's 
monopolistic power. If we were truly civilized and 
highly intelligent, according to the great and true 
laws of creation, there would be no monopolistic 
power exercised by either man or woman. For 
if woman had the same monopolistic power in place 
of man, no doubt but what her power would become 
as tyrannical and oppressive as that of man. This 
is seen in all creation, from human life down to the 
elements that constitute organic life, and as all 
creation, from human life down to the elements 
that constitute organic life, is created in the two 
sexes, the female and the male, there must be har- 
mony between the two sexes for purity and happi- 
ness of life.

CHAPTER XXXII 

OF THE RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL WORLD 

Of the religious and social worlds — what of 
them ? What of churches, and what of social pleas- 
ures? Should there be churches, and should there 
be any restraint of the pleasures of life? Should 
the pleasures of life be equal to that of 
labor? There should be churches, and always will 
be churches, but there should be no churches of 
formality dominated by the monopolistic power of 
man under the guise of God's churches, as the 
churches of the present day. There should be no 
churches dominated by fanatical women and men. 
They only prey upon the unthinking, for the glori- 
fication of themselves. All churches should be in- 
formal institutions of educational and social life, 
where all the beauties and pleasures of life should 
be taught by the freedom of both sexes. The 
teachings of the great, broad and true laws of crea- 
tion should be their creeds and laws, in place of 
man's dogmatic teachings. There should be 
churches as broad in their teachings as the 
great, broad and true laws of creation, and 
as liberal in their teachings of the pleasures 
and happiness of human life. No church can be too 
broad in its teachings of the beauties and pleasures 
of life, for, of all the great laws of creation, none is 
greater than the law of freedom. Honesty and 
integrity should be their religion. All teachings 
of human life should be based on these two prin- 
ciples, honesty and integrity, with the great, broad 
and true laws of creation as our guide in all life. 



128 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

If human life had been taught according to these 
two principles, as our religion, with the great, 
broad and true laws of creation as our guide, in 
place of man's dogmatic creeds, we would be thous- 
ands of years in advance of civilization and intel- 
lectual life to what we are. Human life would be 
so different to what it is that there could be no 
comparison. Of the pleasures of life — they should 
be on the broadest basis possible, and should be 
equal to that of labor. In the pleasures of life there 
is found the analogy of all creations, as there is the 
opposite, there can be both good and bad arise 
from all the pleasures of life. Why, then, condemn 
some and not others? Select the good from the 
bad of all the pleasures of life and place them 
on the broadest scale possible, and the good will 
be accepted and the bad rejected, it being the tyran- 
nical restraint placed upon many harmless pleas- 
ures of life which makes both the good and the 
bad acceptable. 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 129, 

CHAPTER XXXIII 

WHAT OF NATIONS? 

But what of the different nations of human life 
that occupy the root of this tree of worlds as 
nations? Will they stand as nations as long as 
these trees of worlds stand? Or will they decay 
and pass away analogous to all created life? The 
same law that governs created life governs that of 
all national, educational and business institutions, 
even down to the affairs of every-day life. Was 
there ever a vegetable, human or animal life so 
great or so strong and intelligent that it did not 
decay and pass away and another in a higher scale 
of life take its place? Was there ever a nation so 
great or so powerful that it did not sooner or later 
decay and pass away and a greater and more in- 
telligent nation take its place? This is shown in 
history, from the so-called Holy Land down to that 
of Spain, which in a few thousand years will be a 
nation of the past, as well as that of other nations 
which are gradually decaying and losing their 
power. Was there ever an educational or business 
institution so great or so powerful in wealth that it 
did not sooner or later pass away and a larger and 
more intelligent one take its place? This is shown 
in some of the greatest educational and business 
institutions of the present day, how, gradually, they 
decay and pass away, while others, in their prime of 
life, are growing greater and broader in their teach- 
ings and business principles than those that are 
passing away, analogous to that of all created life. 
In the phenomenal life and growth of all national, 



130 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

educational and business institutions there are seen 
the same phenomena of life as in that of created 
life. In nations there are the large and powerful 
and the small and weak, the humane and the sav- 
age, the intelligent and the non-intelligent, the 
prosperous and the non-prosperous, the rich and 
the poor, the long lived and the short lived. In 
educational and business institutions there are the 
same phenomena of life. There are the large and 
the small, the rich and the poor, the prosperous 
and the non-prosperous; in fact, there is not one 
thing that can be pointed out in the phenomenal 
life and growth of national, educational and busi- 
ness life that its analogy is not found in that of 
created life, which is proof that the same laws that 
govern created life govern national, educational and 
business life. 

Of the many great laws of creation which govern 
both created and phenomenal life, there is another 
law which governs all life, either created or phe- 
nomenal, from the life of this tree of worlds down 
to the affairs of every-day life. This law is the law 
of reverses, or law of equalization; a law in which 
one reverse follows another. In the life of this 
tree of worlds, as in that of all creation, there 
is found darkness and then light, cold and then heat, 
rain and then dry, storms and then calms, clouds 
and then clearness; in fact, there is not one thing 
that can be pointed out in the life of this tree of 
worlds that does not exist in reverses. In vegetable, 
human and animal life there is the same phe- 
nomenal law of reverses. In vegetable life, one 
season they will bear perfect fruit, and the next 
season imperfect ; some seasons plentiful, and the 
next season but little. So it is with all human life, 
there is the same phenomena of life ; even in the af- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 131 

fairs of every-day life will this law of reverses be 
seen by the student of life. So it is with the phenom- 
enal life of national, educational and business life. In 
national life there is either prosperity or non-pros- 
perity, and so on through the whole national life. 
In educational and business life there is seen the 
same law. They are either prosperous or non-pros- 
perous. Business will vary, even in prosperity. One 
season good, the next not so good. One season 
everything will pass off smoothly, and the next 
season there will be many things to detract from 
the natural trend of business life. So it is with 
the life of all educational and business life, which 
shows that the same law which governs all created 
life governs the life of all national, educational and 
business life.

CHAPTER XXXIV 

MYSTERY OF NATURE 

There is no mystery in nature — why should there 
be? Why should human life, the highest creation 
of life, be created in such a way that we could not 
understand our creation? Why should we need 
miracles to teach us, when the great laws of creation 
are set forth before us so plainly ? What obj ect would 
the creators have in keeping us in ignorance of our 
creation? Why should it be, when not only human 
life but all created life is growing more intelligent 
every day? Why does not the child know its 
alphabet before it is taught it? Why do we not 
know more of creation and life? Simply because 
we are like the child, we have never been taught 
it. We have been taught so long according to 
man's mythical teachings, that we are dwarfed in 
our knowledge of the creators and their great, true 
laws of creation, the following of which would 
bring happiness and freedom of life in place of the 
artificial life of slavery, so-called modern life which 
we are living under man's tyrannical laws of op- 
pression. Will this always be so? Will human life 
always be in ignorance of the true creators and 
created life as designed by the creators? Will life 
in this world always be the vicious, strenuous life 
which we are living under the teaching of man's 
monopolistic power? As sure as that great law of 
evolution, that law of higher creation, with the law 
pf reverse, which rights all things, are laws of 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 133 

creation, just that sure the vicious, semi-civilized 
and Christianized life which we are living will pass 
away, and a greater and higher life will take its 
places not to-morrow, nor next week, nor next year, 
nor by the teaching of any one person, creed or 
doctrine, but through the great law of higher crea- 
tion, evolution. 



134 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER XXXV 

THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

Of this greater and higher life — what of it? Will 
it be a life dominated by man's monopolistic power, 
with his dominant creeds and principles of life under 
which we are living? Or will it be a life wherein the 
power of woman and man will be equal as in that of 
all creations, with all life based upon the broadest 
and purest principles possible, a life wherein the happi- 
ness and pleasures of life will take the place of the life 
of tyrannical slavery which we are living under the 
guise of a civilized and modern life ? In the greater and 
higher life which will take the place of this vicious 
semi-civilized and Christianized life which we are 
living, the power of woman and man will be equal, 
as in that of all created life, with all life based on 
the broadest and purest principles possible in place 
of the narrow, tyrannical and crime-breeding prin- 
ciples under which we are living. In the Christian 
world all creeds and doctrines of man which have 
already begun to decay will pass away as does that 
of all creation, and greater and higher teachings 
will take their place. Teachings based not on man's 
mythical imaginations and dominant creeds, but 
on the great, broad and true laws of creation, which 
know neither creed nor doctrine, and in which there 
can be no doubting and no dissension. There will 
be different denominations, and should be, for it is 
not nature for all to think and act alike. There 
will be two laws, which will be the religion, the 
foundation and the teachings of all the churches. 
They are honesty and integrity, laws which are the 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 135 

foundation of all purity and happiness of life, and 
are the embodiment of the true laws of creation. All 
churches will be institutions of education and social 
life, in which all walks of life will seek for the edu- 
cational and social pleasures which they will afford. 
They will be churches devoid of all formalities ; a 
short prayer and a short lecture on the instructive 
topics of life, with music of life and cheerfulness, 
will constitute the service. There will be connected 
with the churches the social, theatre and opera, 
with every social pleasure, even the social dance, 
which is one of the greatest enjoyments of social 
life, and as harmless to the purity of life as that of 
the most simple enjoyments of life that can be 
found. There will be these social enjoyments for 
the children as well as for the adults. Why should 
there not be these pleasures for children? Give to 
children the pleasures and the happiness of life on 
the broadest scale possible, and you will educate 
them in the purities and happiness of life. Teach 
them that there can be both good and bad arise 
from all the pleasures of life, but that the real pleas- 
ures are in that of the pure, and they will grow up 
seeking the good in place of the bad. Such will be 
the teachings of the churches in this greater and 
higher life. 



136 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

CHAPTER XXXVI 

EDUCATION OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

In the educational world of this greater and 
higher life, the education will be on a broader and 
higher scale that it is at the present time. Chil- 
dren will be taught not only the greater and higher 
education, on a broader scale, but will be taught the 
refinements of life, in connection with their educa- 
tion. In place of the barren, ill-equipped and ill- 
kept school rooms, devoid of every comfort and 
beauty, with hard, ill-shaped seats to deform the 
tender bodies, every school room will be a school 
parlor, with every beauty and comfort that can be 
afforded for the comfort of the young and tender 
child. In this school parlor children will be taught 
the refinements of life. Each school building will 
be equipped with an anteroom for changing 
the toilet for this school parlor, where every com- 
fort of home life can be found. How many thous- 
ands of children who have poor homes and poor 
surroundings will learn the refinements of life and 
the pleasures of a beautiful home in this way! As 
they grow up to womanhood and manhood they 
will crave and seek a home similar to this school 
parlor, the image of which will cling to their minds 
all through life. It will instill into them a pride 
which could not be taught them in any other way. 
In the teachings of this greater and higher educa- 
tion, the children will not be taught to repeat or 
learn what is taught them in the words of an adult, 
or as taught in the books. They will be taught to 
learn everything by mental life, and to repeat it in 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 137 

their own words; even the rules of all problems 
will be taught as mental pictures. Their whole 
life will be a mental picture of the practical part 
of an educational life. It is wonderful how the 
mind can be trained to absorb everything in life as 
a mental picture. There is no end to the expansion 
of the mind when properly trained in this way. 
Every child will be taught to think for itself and 
to ask itself the question: Is this right, or is this 
wrong? or, why is this so — why should it be so? 
Teach a child on this basis and it will learn more 
in one month than it will in a year taught in any 
other way. They will all become investigators and 
will seek the higest knowledge of life. In this 
greater and highter education there will be no 
crowding or overtaxing of the young mind, as at the 
present time. Look at the thousands of children 
who, year by year, have both their minds and 
bodies dwarfed, and their intellects blighted by be- 
ing forced to learn by main strength and awkward- 
ness what little they do learn, just as it is in the 
books. Think of it; for nine months out of each and 
every year and eight hours of each day these young, 
tender brains are forced to pore over their books, to 
learn a few problems given in other people's words, 
and then call it education. Look at the thousands 
of students of both sexes who go out into the world 
from colleges and make a failure in life, simply be- 
cause they have nothing but a smattering of a book 
knowledge, expressed in other people's words, 
which avails them but little. How painful it is to 
watch these poor, misguided students, who are 
found in both business and professional life. 
Better, indeed, would it have been for them if they 
had been taught only to read and write, or the 
simple rule of three, and sent out into the world 



138 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

with a clear brain, healthy body and self-reliance. In 
the teaching of this higher education, the child will 
be first taught the art of physical beauty and cul- 
ture, the lack of which has ruined many a bright 
and promising child. They should be taught that 
self-pride and self-respect are a part of an education, 
and are essential for a prosperous life. Every child 
may be made wholly or partially beautiful in both 
face and form, as well as in that of manner, by the 
art of physical beauty and culture, which, in the 
education of this greater and higher life, will be 
taught. 

In the practical education of the greater and 
higher life, no child will be allowed to study for 
more than two to four hours each day, nor more 
than two studies at a time, until they are in their 
teens, and then not more than three. No school 
year for the child will be more than six months dur- 
ing the year, increased to eight as they grow older. 
Every study, from the alphabet up, will be taught 
as a mental picture, to be expressed in their own 
words. They will be taught nothing but the practi- 
cal part of all the subjects, the rules of all problems, 
which will be absorbed as part of mental life. No 
mind should ever be overtaxed or overworked, 
especially in the child, for the mind is like the 
body — if it is overworked it soon becomes stupid 
and prematurely old. But if trained to absorb 
everything by mental picture or by mental life, it is 
wonderful what it will absorb without harm to 
either mind or body. If every child were taught 
from childhood up in this way, there would be no 
studying by main strength and awkwardness, no 
overtaxing the mind and body by burning the mid- 
night lamp; no drones in either professional or busi- 
ness life, for each mind would be free to grasp the 
problems of a greater and higher education and life.

CHAPTER XXXVII. 

MATRIMONY OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

In the matrimonial world of the greater and 
higher life, the present form of matrimony, which 
orginated with man in his primitive days through 
his monopolistic power, and which practically en- 
slaved woman for centuries, will pass away, and 
a greater and higher form of matrimony will 
take its place — a form wherein woman will have 
equal rights and privileges with those of man ; 
where she will have the same privilege to go out in 
the world and select a husband as a man has to 
select a wife. Why should she not? Why should 
woman be deprived of this privilege of seeking a 
husband, as man seeks a wife, when it is in accord 
with nature's laws? How many thousands of un- 
happy marriages there are because woman has not 
this privilege ! She accepts man's offer of marriage 
— not because he is her choice, but because she fears 
she may not have another chance, as she has not the 
privilege of seeking another to her own liking. In the 
marriage life of this greater and higher life there 
will be no binding of man and woman together for 
life in marriage. Why should there be, when it is 
contrary to every law of creation ? Could it be pos- 
sible that the creators would require a woman and 
man to live together for life in unhappiness, bearing 
children with vicious and criminal habits, inherited 
through this unhappy marriage? As woman grows 
from the shackles of domestic life to the freedom of 
a greater and higher life, she will demand a greater 



140 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

and higher form of marriage, wherein she will have 
the same rights and privileges as those of man ; 
rights and privileges wherein the marriage cere- 
mony will be according to a legal contract, where- 
in the wife will have the same rights and privileges 
as those of her husband, as long as they can live 
together happily. Should the marriage prove un- 
happy, the wife binds herself to care for the child- 
ren, and the husband binds himself to provide for 
them until of age. Not only will there be this 
greater freedom in the marriage vow of this greater 
and higher life, but the narrow, igorant mock- 
modesty which is thrown around the matrimonial 
world will be cast aside, and both woman and man 
will be taught the art and science of selecting a proper 
mate in marriage, not through any law requir- 
ing a medical examination, but will be taught ac- 
cording to the great, broad laws of creation, which 
are the only guide to a greater and higher matri- 
monial life.

CHAPTER XXXVIIL 

THE POLITICAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER 

LIFE 

In the political world of this greater and higher 
life, will it be the vicious and corrupt politics of the 
present day, which can best be described as a bunco 
game, in which the people are buncoed through their 
stupidity in following the dictates of the vicious ele- 
ments of party politics under the guise of respecta- 
bility ! There will always be two leading parties, and 
should be, as it is according to nature. There are 
two sides to all questions, and both good and bad 
in all parties. This, too, is nature. No one party 
is wholly right or wrong in everything, so that the 
voter who votes all his life for the party name or 
party issue, or because he was taught to vote that 
way, is simply an incompetent voter, no more capable 
of casting an intelligent vote than the most incom- 
petent voter that is allowed to vote. In selecting 
candidates for office of the political parties of the 
present day the active element of the different parties 
look around not for statesmen, men of ability, or men 
who would be the people's choice, but for men who 
will make them the best political servants, who will 
pledge themselves to do their bidding as good and 
faithful servants. They then call a great convention 
to nominate and advertise these honorable servants; 
and how they throw around them the guise of re- 
spectability, prate about and magnify their virtues, 
until they are made perfect in the sight of the un- 



142 THE TREE OF WORLDS 

thinking people, and how they will pat the people on 
the back and call them wise! Oh yes, we will leave 
it to the people — they are wise — and how the voters 
will walk up to the polls and cast their votes for these 
great and honored political servants whom they have 
selected for the people, and who have pledged them- 
selves to serve them as good and faithful servants ! 
After the election, what then ? Buncoed ! For hardly 
are the votes counted until this active element be- 
gins to divide the spoils among themselves, and the 
people are forgotten, except to be robbed in every con- 
ceivable way possible. But in the greater and higher 
life this political bunco game will be a thing of the 
past. People through that great law of higher crea- 
tion will become educated to look after their own 
interests, not only in the political world, but in all 
the affairs of life. In place of leaving the nomina- 
tion of political candidates to the active element of 
any party, the people of each party will call a con- 
vention of the people at large and will nominate states- 
men, men of ability who are not pledged to serve 
the active element of any party, but who will stand 
for the people of all parties, wherever it is to the in- 
terest of the people to do so. 

While they may have party preferences — that is 
natural, for no person can be wholly independent in 
anything — yet they will stand for the people, regard- 
less of any party influences. After the nomination 
the favored one will be elected by the popular vote, 
in place of the electoral vote, so that if elected they 
will be the choice of the people, and not of the active 
element of the party. In the political world of this 
greater and higher life, woman will have the same 
privilege as that of man, which will place the political 
world on a broader and higher scale, according to 
the laws of creation. Honor and integrity will take 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 143 

the place of chicanery and deception. Peace and hap- 
piness will take the place of tyrannical strife. All 
laws will be based on the broad laws of creation, in 
place of the monopolistic power of man, so that the 
political world will be looked upon as an institution 
of trust, in place of distrust, as_ at the present day.

CHAPTER XXXIX 

THE COMMERCIAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER 

LIFE 

In the commercial world of this greater and 
higher life, will it be where the monopolistic power 
of commercial life is destroying all competition, that 
they may force the people to pay an exorbitant 
price for all the commodities of life, or, in other 
words, rob the people of the natural competition 
of commercial life? Not satisfied in robbing people 
by this monopolistic power, they will issue worth- 
less monopolistic stock, which they sell to the un- 
thinking people at a high valuation, and then force 
it down until worthless. Another bunco game, an 
offspring of the political world, wherein a few busi- 
ness bunco steerers, so-called financiers, under the 
guise of respectability, are absorbing the wealth 
of the people, just as a sponge absorbs water — 
legalized under the guise of respectability by the 
monopolistic power of man. Will this always be 
the case? Will there always be this bunco busi- 
ness in the business world? In the business world 
of the greater and higher life, there will be no 
robbing of the people through the monopolistic 
power of wealth. There will be no bunco game 
in the way of inflating worthless stocks under the 
guise of financiering. This will all be a thing of 
the past, decayed and passed away, and a greater 
and higher business world will take its place. Peo- 
ple through that great law of higher creation, evo- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 145 

lution, will have become educated to that state 
wherein they will stand for honesty and integrity 
in all business. So there will be no combination 
of monopolistic wealth for the purpose of robbing 
the people. All business will be based upon purely 
business principles. There will be no issuing of 
stock with false value. Every company will do 
business under a charter or license and will operate 
under an appraised valuation, and will not be al- 
lowed to issue stock above its proper value. All 
business will be on the broadest basis possible to 
be on a sound and business basis. As the people 
become educated according to nature's great laws 
of creation in place of the narrow principles under 
which we are living, they will become broader in 
business principles, as well as in those of all life, 
making the business world a world of pleasure in 
place of a world of strife. This will be the business 
world of the greater and higher life.

CHAPTER XE 

FINANCIAL WORLD OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

Of the financial world of this greater and higher 
life — what can be said of it? Will it always be the 
monopolistic financial world of the present day? 
A financial world based on the monopolistic power 
of man, wherein the element of gold stole the power 
of the element of silver, as man stole the power of 
woman, not by force nor by stealth, but by the false 
doctrine of a single money standard, which is con- 
trary to every law of creation, and gives to the 
financial world the power to deprive the people of 
the natural power of the two elements of the 
financial world, a deprivation which is not only 
vicious and tyrannical, but contrary to that of a 
liberal and honest financial world, and is another 
offspring of the political world, which stands as 
a monument of the monopolistic power of the 
financial world, made so by the cursed greed of 
the glittering gold. In the greater and higher life, 
the financial world, like that of man, will be shorn 
of its monopolistic power, through that great law 
of higher creation, that law of reverses which rights 
all things. The element of silver, the power of 
which was stolen by the element of gold, will again 
take its place in the financial world, not as an in- 
ferior element of power, but a power equal to that 
of gold, for gold is propagating and multiplying 
so much faster than silver that it will only be a 
question of time until silver will be more valuable 
than gold, and as people become educated according 
to the great laws of creation, in place of those of 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 147 

man, they will demand a financial world based on 
the same great laws. Thus it will be that the ele- 
ment of gold will be robbed of its monopolistic 
power and placed in the financial world on a broad and 
honest basis, so that it will create and maintain the con- 
fidence of the people as well as that of the commercial 
world, and will be in accord with the great true 
laws of creation, which broadens the life of all 
created life, as well as of all phenomenal life.

CHAPTER XLI 



TEACHINGS OF A GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 



In the teachings of this world of greater and 
higher life, there will be the reverse of what we are 
taught at the present time, reversed not by man's 
laws or teachings, for they, like the life we are liv- 
ing, are of deceit, from the foundation up, but will 
be reversed by the teachings of the great true laws 
of creation, which in their broadness recognize noth- 
ing but the principles of the purity of life, in which 
honor and integrity will be the foundation for all 
teachings, and from which will arise human life in 
its highest scale of the intellectual purity of life. 
In place of being taught that our sins or the sins 
of a vicious life can be forgiven through an inter- 
mediary or idol of flesh and blood, they can only 
be forgiven after repentance through that great 
law of higher creation, evolution, and not from any 
direct appeal, and that, there being both good and 
bad in all things, we are free agents to act within 
ourselves through a power given us by the creators, 
that, through this freedom of life, we are free to 
choose between the good and the bad, so that all 
lives can repent of their sins, but can only rise from 
a lower scale of life in which their sins have placed 
them to that of a higher scale through that great 
law of higher life, evolution. In the educational 
world, from childhood up, they will be taught that 
a true education can only be had through absorp- 
tion by mental life of the practical part of all prob- 
lems of life, and by the study of all life through 
mental pictures the mind can become so broadened 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 149 

and the purities of life so charming that the evils 
of life are practically forgotten. In fact, there can 
be no comprehension, except to the student of life, 
of the difference between the life we are living, 
under the narrow teachings of man, and what life 
will be under the teachings of the great true laws 
of creation, except to say that one is the life of 
the slavery of sin, and the other the life of the 
freedom of purity; one is hell and the other heaven. 
Such will be the teachings of this greater and 
higher life.

CHAPTER XLII 

PLEASURES OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

Of the pleasures of this greater and higher life 
there could be volumes written from the stand- 
point of the vicious and unintelligent life which we 
are living, under the guise of a civilized and mod- 
ern life. Yet, according to a true scientific and 
intelligent life based on the true laws of creation 
as designed by the creators, the substance of the 
pleasures of life can be expressed in a few words, 
for, in the greater and higher life, which will be 
based on the true laws of creation, the pleasures of life 
will be set forth in such broad and liberal principles 
that their purity can be readily seen. The teachings 
that many pleasures of life should be avoided because 
they might lead to evil will be teachings of the 
past and a broader and more intelligent teaching 
as to the pleasures of life will take their place, 
teachings wherein it will be taught that there can 
be both good and bad arise from all the pleasures 
of life, but that the purities of all the pleasures of 
life should be enjoyed upon the broadest basis pos- 
sible; that it is not the evils that follow the purity 
of the pleasures of life, but the evils which are made 
out of them, and that the real pleasures of life are 
in the good and not in the evil, and that the pleas- 
ures of life consist in every enjoyment that is not 
harmful to the mind and body and the purity of 
life. In all life, the pleasures of life should equal 
the labor. There is no greater evil than the abuse 
of the mind and body, for it is an abuse of that 
which was given us by the creators for the enjoy- 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 151 

ment of life, so that there is no law of man more 
vicious and tyrannical than the law which compels 
human or animal life to abuse the mind and body 
for a compensation. There is no one law of man 
that will do as much to degrade and destroy the 
pleasures and happiness of human life as those laws 
dictated by the greed of man, but in this greater 
and higher life, this will all be reversed; human life 
through the great law of higher creation will grow 
to that stage of intellectual life wherein there will 
be an equality of power between capital and labor, 
which will bring harmony to both, and will be 
based on the great laws of creation, wherein one 
could not exist without the other, and where there 
can be no monopolistic power with either. This 
will bring to human life many pleasures of life 
which have been dwarfed through the greed of 
man's tyrannical power.

CHAPTER XLIII 



HAPPINESS OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 



Of the happiness of this greater and higher life, 
will it be far above the happiness of this present 
life we are living, under the vicious, tyrannical and 
monopolistic power of man, which, like the seed 
sown in poor soil, is of poor quality and but little 
of it? Look around us at the toil and strife in all 
life, and ask yourself, Where is the pleasure of this 
life of boasted civilization? Is it simply in the fact 
that we live, or does happiness lie in a life of toil 
and strife, where deceit and chicanery are the rul- 
ing spirit? Would it be possible under the present 
conditions of life for there to be any true happiness, 
or, in other words, a high grade of happiness 
in the true sense of the word? There can be no 
true happiness in the life we are living. There 
might be a poor grade of happiness in some of the 
pleasures of life, but there are so many sorrows in 
other phases that the sorrows overshadow the hap- 
piness; but in the greater and higher life it will be 
reversed, for the propagation of happiness on a 
greater and higher scale will take the place of the 
poor — not through the laws of man, but through 
the great laws of higher creation, wherein all life 
will be on a higher scale of intellectual purity, or, 
in other words, of a higher grade of intellectual 
soil of the purity of life. In place of the life of 
toil and strife which we are living we will have 
peace and happiness. Honesty and integrity will 
take the place of deceit and chicanery; in place 
of toil and strife, day in and day out, the hours 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 153 

of pleasure and rest will equal those of labor ; while 
there will always be commercial competition, hon- 
esty and integrity will be the basis of all commer- 
cial life, which will do away with all the dishonest 
and vicious strife of commercial life. In the social 
world, the religion of honesty and integrity, with 
the broadening of the freedom of all laws, as well 
as that of all life, according to the great laws of 
creation, will broaden the scope of the purity of life, 
and enrich the soil for the propagation of a greater 
and higher life of happiness.

CHAPTER XLIV 

THE SORROWS OF THIS GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

Of the sorrows of this greater and higher life — 
will they be found in every phase of life, as in the 
present life? Will death to the truly intellectual 
life bring the same sorrows as it does in the life 
which we are living? Could it be possible, accord- 
ing to the great laws of creation, for there to be 
no sorrows? Would it be possible to live a life 
of happiness, either in this world or the next, with- 
out sorrow? There will always be sorrows in life, 
both in this world and the next, for, like all crea- 
tion, sorrow and happiness are the two opposites, 
which are controlled by the law of reverses, as in 
that of all life. But in this vicious life which we 
are living the sorrows of life greatly overshadow 
the happiness, for we are living a life indicative 
of sorrows in place of happiness, but in this greater 
and higher life, in place of living a life indicative 
of sorrows, it will be of happiness. Honor will be 
the religion of life, through which the many evils 
of life, the foundation of the greatest sorrows, will 
decay and pass away, so that both the decaying 
and the passing of the sorrows of life will be the 
passing of the many sorrows which are the great- 
est burden of the vicious life which we are living. 
But in the greater and higher life the sorrows 
from the evils of life will be but few, and the 
sorrows from the passing of life will be considered 
in a different light from what they are in the life 
we are living. There will be no uncertainty as 
to the hereafter. Every life will be judged in this 




THE TREE OF WORLDS 155 

world as in that of the next by their life of deeds 
and acts, and not creeds, so that there will be less 
sorrow from the evils of life, and, while there 
will always be sorrow from the passing of the life 
of those who are loved, even of the pure life, it 
will be the sorrow of the more intelligent life, 
according to the great laws of creation, which will 
mitigate the sorrows of the passing of life. Of the 
sorrows of the next world — they will be but few; 
life having been shorn of all crudeness, the purity 
and happiness of life will be so great that there 
will be but few sorrows outside of the passing of 
life, which will be analogous to that of this world, 
except in a higher scale of purity; for life in the 
next world, being a continuation of life from this 
world, will be governed by the same laws of creation 
in all life, as well as in that of the sorrows and hap- 
piness of life. Such will be the sorrows of this greater 
and higher life, as well as that of the next.

CHAPTER XLV 

PURITY OF THE GREATER AND HIGHER LIFE 

Of the purity of the greater and higher life — 
let us first ask, What constitutes the purity of life? 
What marks a pure and perfect life? Is it a life 
of morbid inactivity as to the pleasures of life? 
Is it a life wherein the natural pleasures of life 
are taught through morbid teachings which would 
be contrary to every law of creation, a law wherein 
the mind has been dwarfed through the narrow 
teachings of self-sacrifice as to the pleasures of 
life? Is such a life a pure and perfect life? Could 
it be, when it is contrary to the great laws of 
nature's freedom? Would it be likely that the 
creators would design such a life under the guise 
of the purity of life, after creating the pleasures 
of life? What was life created for? Could the 
creators be so selfish as to create the pleasures of 
life and then deny life the purity of these pleasures, 
under the guise of impurity of life? Such could 
not be the case, so that the morbid and inactive 
self-sacrificing life, as to the pleasures of life, is 
not a pure and perfect life, according to the great 
laws of created freedom, but a misguided life 
through morbid teachings. 

In the greater and higher life, the pure and perfect 
life will be the life which lives and enjoys the 
purity of life, according to the great and true laws 
which know neither creeds nor doctrines; a life 
which recognizes the creators, the god and the 
godhead, as the creators and rulers of all creation, 
with honor and integrity as the foundation of the 



THE TREE OF WORLDS 157 

purity of life; a life of cheerfulness and happiness 
that seeks and enjoys the purity and pleasures of 
life according to their likes — for in this, as in all 
life, they could not all be of the same mind; a life 
wherein, through the broadness of their purity, they 
have a word of cheer and a helping hand for all 
humanity and a humane feeling for all life; a life 
wherein a desire for the purity and pleasures of 
life is their prayer, with the purity of the great, 
broad and true laws of creation as their guide. 
Such will be the purity of this greater and higher 
human life, as designed by the creators of all life.
